Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast cubed
  • 1 tsp salt divided
  • ¼ tsp black pepper omit for AIP
  • ½ onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 2 cups white sweet potato peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup diced tomato sub nomato sauce for AIP
  • 12 oz cauliflower gnocchi Trader Joes, or homemade for AIP… see notes
  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • 2 cups kale chopped
  • 2 tbsp parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Using a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken and lightly season. Remove from the pot and set aside when the chicken is cooked to 165 F.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the white sweet potato, carrots, and celery and saute for another 5 minutes to lightly soften.
  • Add the broth, diced tomato, and chicken to the pot and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
  • Pour the coconut cream into the pot and add the gnocchi (add the uncooked gnocchi if using Trader Joes, see notes for using homemade). Bring to a low simmer and allow to cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the kale and allow to soften for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve warm topped with parsley.

Notes

If using homemade gnocchi, skip the baking in the original recipe and simply boil the gnocchi as directed.
