Steps
-
Optional: In a small skillet, soften the onion in butter over medium heat, about 3 minutes.

Add the onion to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts, potatoes, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, basil, and salt.
-
Pour the chicken broth overtop, cover, and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
-
With tongs, transfer the chicken breast to a bowl and shred with two forks.
-
Whisk the cornstarch into the evaporated milk and add to the slow cooker with the shredded chicken and the uncooked gnocchi.
-
Turn the slow cooker up to high and cook for 1 hour or until the gnocchi is tender. Stir in the spinach and let rest for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
