This is a favorite for cool weather sports nights when we all eat at different times. After adding the chicken and gnocchi, throw it in a slow cooker on the lowest setting so it is ready when you are. Serve with pesto bread sticks.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large zucchini, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
½ red bell pepper, diced
2 carrots, shredded
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth, or more as needed

2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken meat
1 (16 ounce) package small gnocchi
