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.
  6. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Transfer the gnocchi with chicken pot pie filling to serving dishes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
