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

  • Homemade seasoned salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • Pinch dried thyme

Fats and Flour

  • 4 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
  • 3 tablespoons gluten free flour (or all-purpose flour if not gluten free)

Liquids

  • 2 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 1 cup milk (any kind, unsweetened almond milk recommended for dairy-free)

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz package gluten free gnocchi
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken breast (about 1/2 lb pre-cooked)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Saute Vegetables: Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots or onions. Sauté until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper, then continue sautéing until vegetables are tender, about 6-7 more minutes, adjusting the heat if necessary.
  2. Add Aromatics and Seasonings: Add the garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme to the vegetables. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is very fragrant.
  3. Thicken the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  4. Add Liquids and Simmer: Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Then add the milk and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Cook Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the simmering mixture and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Finish the Dish: Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional seasoned salt and pepper if desired. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use gluten free flour and gnocchi to keep the recipe gluten free.
  • To make dairy-free, use vegan butter and unsweetened almond milk or another plant-based milk.
  • Homemade seasoned salt typically blends salt with herbs like rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder, but store-bought seasoning salt can be substituted.
  • Shredded chicken can be made ahead or use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
