Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large or 2 small ribs celery, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped
- Seasoned salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour if not GF)
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup milk (any kind, preferably unsweetened almond milk)
- 12 oz package gluten-free gnocchi
- 1.5 cups shredded chicken breast (~½ lb pre-cooked)
- ½ cup frozen peas
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add sliced carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots or onions, and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper, cooking for an additional 6–7 minutes until vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Stir in garlic, poultry seasoning, and thyme, cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring to coat them evenly, and cook for about 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly, then add milk and increase the heat to medium-high to bring it all to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add the gnocchi into the pot and stir gently. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 5–6 minutes until the gnocchi are tender.
- Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas, allowing them to warm through completely. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve hot in bowls and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute chicken with chickpeas or tofu and use plant-based milk along with vegan butter.
