Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large or 2 small ribs celery, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Seasonings and Dairy
- 4 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- Homemade seasoned salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
- 1 cup milk, any kind (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons gluten free flour or all-purpose flour if not gluten free
- 12 oz package gluten free gnocchi
Liquids and Protein
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken breast (~1/2 lb pre-cooked)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Saute Vegetables: Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add sliced carrots, mushrooms, celery, and chopped shallots or onions. Saute until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with seasoned salt and pepper, then continue to saute, lowering heat if necessary, until vegetables are tender, about 6-7 more minutes.
- Add Aromatics and Spices: Add pressed garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Saute until garlic is very fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Create Roux: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to evenly coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
- Add Liquids and Simmer: Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps, then add milk. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Cook Gnocchi: Add the gluten-free gnocchi to the pot and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning with more seasoned salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Delallo Gluten Free Gnocchi is recommended for the best texture and flavor.
- If using a 16 oz package of gnocchi instead of 12 oz, increase the amount of broth and milk to maintain a creamy consistency.
- You can substitute butter with vegan butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Using pre-cooked chicken breast saves time and makes this meal quicker to prepare.
