Why not simply
\begin{figure}
\begin{verbatim}
Blah
\end{verbatim}
\caption{Gaga}
\label{gugu}
\end{figure}
As \caption{Gaga} will produce something like
Figure 55. Gaga
you should also add to your preamble
\renewcommand\figurename{Code chunk}
and then \caption{Gaga} will produce
Code chunk 55. Gaga
If you plan on having a list of code chunks (like a table of
contents), introduced with
\listoffigures
then, at the outset, that one will be be titled "List of Figures";
you need to add to your preamble
\renewcommand\listfigurename{List of little Code chunks}
and then \listofigures will produce a listing of all code chunks,
with the new title.
If you have actual figures in your document, you could highjack
tables in a similar manner. If you need both actual figures and
actual tables, then... well, maybe you don't.
