  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed (rotisserie works great)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Gnocchi (5 minutes): Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions or your homemade recipe until they float to the surface of the water. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables (5 minutes): In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Flour (2 minutes): Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Create Sauce (5 minutes): Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine with Chicken and Gnocchi (5 minutes): Add the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and corn to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently fold everything together until the gnocchi is coated with the sauce and the mixture is heated through.

Pair this with...

Cheddar Biscuits

First, heat up your oven. In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of garlic powder for that extra depth. Blend in cold, cubed butter until the mixture looks like chunky crumbs. Fold in a generous handful of sharp cheddar cheese, spreading the cheesy joy throughout. Gently mix in milk, just until the dough pulls together. Now, using a big spoon, drop heaping mounds of this dough onto a baking sheet. They'll be imperfect and that's part of their charm! Slide them into the oven, watching as they expand and brown, with bits of golden cheddar making their appearance. Once baked to perfection, let them cool a bit, but serve warm.

Leafy Greens Side Salad

Kick things off with a bed of your favorite mixed greens—whether it's spinach, arugula, romaine, or a combination of all. Next, layer on thinly sliced red onion, adding a sharp and colorful zing. Slice a cucumber into neat rounds, offering cool and refreshing bites throughout the salad. Halve some juicy cherry tomatoes and scatter them in, lending their sweet-tart bursts. Finally, dot the salad with pitted green olives, introducing a briny depth. For dressing, a simple vinaigrette made of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper does wonders. Drizzle it over the salad, toss everything gently, and serve.

Maple Glazed Green Beans

Begin by trimming your fresh green beans. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the beans until they're starting to soften but still have a bit of crunch. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, toast some pine nuts just until they're golden, which will bring out their rich, buttery flavor. Once the green beans are nearly done, drizzle in pure maple syrup to give them a sweet glaze that complements their natural earthiness. Let the syrup caramelize slightly and coat the beans. Add in your toasted pine nuts, toss everything together, and season with a pinch of salt.
