Cheryl Blakeway

4 tablespoons (½ stick) salted butter

8 to 10 ounces pancetta, diced (optional, and you can also use ½ pound of bacon cut into bits)

1 yellow onion, diced

2 medium carrots, diced

3 ribs celery, diced, with leafy tops reserved

1 tablespoon (3 cloves) garlic, crushed or minced

½ cup sherry wine (optional)

1 tablespoon seasoned salt

2 teaspoons black pepper

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

5 ½ cups chicken or garlic broth (I used 5 ½ teaspoons Chicken Better Than Bouillon + 5 ½ cups water)

1 1/2 – 3 pounds chicken breast and/or thighs (NOTE: I used a small, whole young chicken cut into pieces with bones in and the skin on, which we will discard after cooking. However, you can definitely use 1 1/2 – 3 pounds of boneless, skinless breasts or thighs if you prefer. For this recipe, I just like cooking the chicken with the skin on as it creates a richer, more colorful broth. ALSO – The more chicken used, the more of a stew-like consistency. Go for 1 1/2 – 2 pounds of you want it more soupy.) 1 ½ to 3 pounds chicken breast and/or thighs (NOTE: I used a small, whole young chicken cut into pieces with bones in and the skin on, which we will discard after cooking.

2 cups heavy cream or half & half

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 to 2 pounds gnocchi of your choice (I used potato gnocchi. This is usually found in the market at either room temperature near the deli section in an air-tight container or frozen in a bag - either is fine!)

8 to 10 ounces baby spinach

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

5.2 ounce package Boursin, any flavor (optional)
