Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large or 2 small ribs celery, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Seasonings & Spices
- Homemade seasoned salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
Dairy & Fats
- 4 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 1 cup milk, any kind (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
Flour & Broth
- 3 Tablespoons gluten free flour or all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz package gluten free gnocchi
- 1–1/2 cups shredded chicken breast (~1/2 lb pre-cooked)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pan, then add the carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots or onions. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper, then reduce heat slightly and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add Aromatics and Spices: Stir in the pressed garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Sauté until the garlic is very fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Create the Base: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Add the milk and increase the heat to medium-high, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cook Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the simmering mixture and stir to combine. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add Chicken and Peas: Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust with additional seasoned salt and pepper if needed. Heat through until the peas are warmed.
- Serve: Ladle the creamy gnocchi chicken pot pie into bowls and serve immediately for a comforting one-pot meal.
Notes
- For gluten-free option, use gluten free flour and gluten free gnocchi.
- Some gnocchi brands are sold in 16 oz packages instead of 12 oz. If using a larger package, increase the amount of broth and/or milk accordingly to maintain the desired consistency.
- Unsweetened almond milk is suggested for a dairy-free alternative, but any milk variety can be used.
- This recipe works well with pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
