  8. Add the chicken breasts and allow them to cook for another 20 minutes. Then shred the chicken.
  9. Bring the temperature to a low heat and add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
  10. Add the heavy cream and let that cook for 2 minutes.
  11. Add the gnocchi and allow that to cook for 3-5 minutes.
