Ingredients

Scale

Aromatics & Vegetables:

  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 3 medium carrots, sliced into half-moons

  • 3 celery ribs, diced

  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, quartered

  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Sauce Base:

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend

  • 3 cups chicken stock (homemade preferred)

  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)

Main Components:

  • 16 oz fresh potato gnocchi

  • 2 ½ cups cooked chicken, torn into bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cup sweet peas (fresh or frozen)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Vegetables

    • Melt butter in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.

    • Add carrots, celery, onion, and ½ tsp salt. Cook until vegetables soften, 6–8 minutes.

    • Add mushrooms and garlic; cook until mushrooms release their moisture, about 5 minutes.

  2. Make the Sauce

    • Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

    • Gradually whisk in chicken stock, then milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

    • Stir in Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg (if using).

  3. Cook the Gnocchi

    • Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and add gnocchi.

    • Cook uncovered for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi are tender.

  4. Add Chicken and Peas

    • Stir in cooked chicken and peas.

    • Simmer until heated through and sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.

  5. Finish the Dish

    • Fold in fresh herbs. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

    • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Dutch Oven: A 5-quart or larger works best for even cooking.

  • Chicken Options: Rotisserie, poached, or roasted chicken all work well.

  • Make Ahead: Chop vegetables up to 2 days in advance for faster prep.

  • Storage & Reheating: Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating.

  • Variations: Try with turkey, or switch up seasonal vegetables like zucchini or butternut squash.
