Preheat the oven and bake 1 pound of skinless boneless chicken breast with a little seasoning salt until cooked.

Chop the baked chicken breast into pieces.

In an 8-quart pot over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of light butter spread and let it melt.

Once melted, add diced onion, chopped celery, and shredded carrots; cook for about 7 minutes until softened.

Add 4 teaspoons of minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and let it cook for a couple of minutes.

Slowly add in 4 cups of chicken broth while stirring.

Add the cooked chicken breast and increase the heat to medium-high to bring the mixture to a low boil.

Once boiling, add 16 oz of gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, reduce the heat to low and add 1.5 cups of fat-free half and half and 1/2 cup of fat-free Greek yogurt; stir well.

Add 5 cups of fresh spinach and let it cook on low heat until the spinach wilts down, about 5 minutes.

Season with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste, stirring to combine.

Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes before serving.
