Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 4 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 large or 2 small celery ribs thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot or 1 small onion chopped
- Seasoned salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch of dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 12 ounces potato gnocchi gluten-free if needed
- 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallot or onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Season the vegetables with seasoned salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat slightly if necessary and continue cooking for another 6–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce without flour lumps.
- Add the milk and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add the gnocchi and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Stir the shredded chicken and frozen peas into the One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until the chicken and peas are thoroughly heated.
- Taste and adjust the seasoned salt and black pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and serve warm
Notes
For additional vegetables, try adding corn, green beans, or finely chopped spinach. Frozen mixed vegetables can also replace the individual carrots and peas when you need a shortcut.
If you don't have cooked chicken, cook chicken breasts separately and shred them before adding them to the pot.
For an extra-creamy sauce, replace a portion of the milk with heavy cream. If you'd prefer a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and an unsweetened, neutral-flavored dairy-free milk.
