Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter For frying
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Sauce Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour For thickening
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Milk or cream For creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or thyme For flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper To taste
Main Ingredients
  • 1 package Packaged shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi
  • 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or cubed Rotisserie works great
  • 1 cup Frozen peas
  • 1 cup Frozen corn
Optional Finish
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan For topping
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
  • 1 squeeze Lemon juice Adds brightness

Method
 

Make the Base
  1. Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Toss in diced onion, carrots, and celery, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and stir to coat evenly.
  3. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring, then add milk or cream. Bring to a gentle simmer to thicken the sauce.
Add Gnocchi and Chicken
  1. Stir in Italian seasoning or thyme. Add the gnocchi and let simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until they start to float and the sauce looks glossy.
  2. Fold in cooked chicken, peas, and corn. Keep the heat low to prevent the gnocchi from bursting.
Thicken and Finish
  1. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If desired, add a splash more milk or a small pat of butter for richness.
  2. Finish with grated Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon juice. Let it rest off the heat for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer to maintain a creamy texture. Adjust thickness by simmering longer if too thin or adding liquid if too thick.
