How to Make Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi Pot Pie

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat, letting it shimmer for around 1-2 minutes.
  • Sauté carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions for about 10-11 minutes until tender and aromatic.
  • Add minced garlic, poultry seasoning, and thyme; cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour over the veggie mixture, stirring to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  • Gradually pour in chicken stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps, then add milk and bring to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened slightly.
  • Incorporate gnocchi, reduce heat, and simmer for 5-6 minutes until tender.
  • Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas; heat through for 2-3 minutes, adjusting seasoning if needed.
  • Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Notes

For the best results, allow veggies to sauté slowly for maximum flavor and to achieve the ideal texture. This recipe is versatile and welcomes your personal touch with substitution of ingredients.
