Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Brown the chicken breasts in the pot, cooking until browned on both sides, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the chicken to cook through, about 10 minutes.
- Incorporate the heavy cream, cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Shred the chicken, return it to the soup, and stir to combine.
- Garnish generously with fresh basil before serving warm.
Notes
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before shredding. For best gnocchi texture, add them in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
