Ingredients
3 tbsp butter
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 shallot or small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
3 tbsp gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)
3 cups chicken stock
1 ½ cups milk
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
1 lb gnocchi
2 cups cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie recommended)
1 cup frozen peas
1 tsp poultry seasoning
½ tsp dried thyme (or fresh thyme leaves)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley or thyme, chopped (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan (optional topping)
Instructions
Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook for 6–8 minutes until softened.
Stir in mushrooms and garlic; cook 5 minutes until mushrooms release their liquid.
Sprinkle in flour, stir for 2 minutes to coat vegetables.
Slowly whisk in chicken stock and then milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in Dijon, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg if using.
Bring to a gentle simmer. Add gnocchi and cook uncovered 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Stir in chicken and peas. Simmer 3–4 minutes until heated through and thickened.
Fold in fresh herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Top with Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Shortcut: Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Too thick? Add a splash of stock or milk.
Vegetarian option: Replace chicken with white beans or more mushrooms.
Best served fresh; leftovers keep in fridge 3 days. Avoid freezing—gnocchi texture changes.
