FAQ

Can I use store-bought gnocchi for this recipe?

Yes, shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi both work perfectly in the slow cooker.

When should I add the gnocchi to the crockpot?

Add gnocchi during the last 20–30 minutes so it stays soft and pillowy, not mushy.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Absolutely. Chicken thighs stay extra juicy and flavorful during slow cooking.

How long should the chicken cook in the slow cooker?

Typically 6–7 hours on low or 3–4 hours on high, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?

Yes, substitute coconut milk or a dairy-free cream alternative and skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese.

How do I thicken the sauce if it’s too thin?

Stir in cream cheese, Parmesan, or a cornstarch slurry near the end of cooking.

Can I add vegetables to creamy chicken gnocchi?

Definitely. Spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, peas, zucchini, kale, and asparagus all work well.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Creamy dishes can change texture when frozen, but this one freezes fairly well if cooled completely first.
