Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced (or shredded rotisserie chicken)
  • 16 oz store-bought potato gnocchi (fresh or shelf-stable)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Measure out your broth, cream, and seasonings.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in your skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat, then slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the heavy cream and thyme, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the gnocchi directly into the sauce. Cover and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and frozen peas. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through.
  7. Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving. Spoon into bowls and enjoy the creamy, comforting goodness!
