Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon, for zest/juice
  • 3 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt-free Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

  • 1 cup fresh garlic cloves
  • 1 (8-oz) package trinity mix (fresh diced onions, bell peppers, celery)

  • 1 (16-oz) package gnocchi pasta

Steps

    1. Chop rosemary. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon); squeeze for juice (2 tablespoons). Chop bacon. Combine flour, seasoning, salt, and pepper in bag. Add chicken to bag, seal tightly and shake to coat (wash hands).

    4. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 ½ hours (or LOW for 4 ½ hours). Gently stir gnocchi into slow cooker; cook 25–30 more minutes or until gnocchi are tender and chicken is 165°F. Sprinkle cooked bacon over top. Serve.
