Gnocchi Chicken Pot (Printable Recipe)

Let chicken, gnocchi, and a bunch of veggies bubble away in one pan for a comforting meal that takes less than 45 minutes.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1 large or 2 small celery stalks, sliced thin
02 - 1 cup carrots, sliced up
03 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or plant-based butter
04 - 1 large shallot or 1 small onion, diced
05 - 115 grams (4 oz) mushrooms, cut into slices

→ Seasonings

06 - freshly cracked black pepper
07 - homemade seasoned salt
08 - 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning blend
09 - pinch dried thyme leaves
10 - 2 garlic cloves, smashed or finely chopped

→ Thickener

11 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend

→ Liquids

12 - 240 ml (1 cup) milk of choice (like unsweetened almond or regular milk)
13 - 480 ml (2 cups) chicken broth or stock

→ Mains

14 - 80 grams (1/2 cup) green peas, frozen
15 - 225 grams (1 1/2 cups) cooked chicken breast, torn up
16 - 340 grams (12 oz) gluten-free gnocchi

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Toss carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallot or onion into a hot pot already warming over medium-high. Drop in butter so it melts around the veggies. Stir now and then while the mushrooms drop their liquid and it disappears, about 3 to 4 minutes. Shake in a little seasoned salt and black pepper as you go. Let veggies turn soft, stirring here and there and dropping the heat if things get too lively, for another 6 or 7 minutes.
02 - Now throw in garlic, that poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Cook it until you really smell the garlic, only a minute or two more.
03 - Sprinkle flour right over the hot veggies. Stir so everything looks coated and let it hang out for about a minute to knock out the raw taste.
04 - Start pouring chicken stock slowly while stirring so you don't get lumps, then follow that up with the milk. Crank the heat to a nice bubble at medium-high and give it a stir here and there as it cooks.
05 - Pop in the gnocchi and give it a good mix. Lower the stove to medium. Let it cook until the gnocchi are pillowy and soft, usually 5 or 6 minutes, stirring to keep them from sticking.
06 - Add your cooked chicken and frozen peas. Taste things and sprinkle in extra salt or pepper if needed. Dish it up while it's steamy and hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - If you use a 450-gram (16 oz) package of gnocchi, you'll want to up the broth and milk to keep things creamy.
02 - Pick smaller gnocchi or ones that are all the same size so they cook evenly.
03 - Leftover rotisserie or roasted chicken breast fits perfectly in this meal.
