I was browsing through your website a couple of nights ago and came across a recipe for a take on Olive Garden’s Chicken Gnocchi soup…I think from a viewer…using store bought alfredo sauce. If you have access to this recipe I would love for you to send it to me….I cannot find it now.
Hi Vallie… I don’t think it was my site… however, I did a quick search and found this online. Does this work for you?
Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Ingredients:
Boneless Skinless Frozen Chicken breasts
1 jar Alfredo Sauce (Bertolli is my fave)
1 can chicken broth
1/3 c. milk
1/3 c. butter
parsely flakes
1/3 c. water
1 can chopped spinach
salt
pepper
celery seeds
garlic quarter
2 cans pilsbury biscuits cut into fourths
Directions:
In a deep baking dish pour half of one can of chicken broth, water, pepper and salt. Lay number of chicken breasts that will fit (depends on amount cooking.) – I used 5.
Next, Pour remainder of can on top of chicken breasts, add a garlic quarter cut in half, salt and pepper, parsely flakes and celery seeds.
Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven on 375 degrees until cooked thoroughly. Drain broth and set aside. Chop chicken and set aside. Discard garlic.
In a large pot pour the alfredo sauce, 1/3 c. milk, and half of the cooked broth. Bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly. If soup is too runny you can add tablespoon flour to thicken. Add quartered biscuits. These will cook in the broth.
Add drained spinach, additional seasonings and broth to taste. Last, add chopped chicken and the butter.
