Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 tablespoons butter or vegan butter

  • 1 cup sliced carrots

  • 4 oz mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 large (or 2 small) celery ribs, thinly sliced

  • 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped

  • Seasoned salt and black 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; unsweetened almond milk works well)

  • 12 oz gluten-free gnocchi

  • 1½ cups shredded cooked chicken breast (about ½ lb)

  • ½ cup frozen peas

Instructions

  • Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots or onions.

  • Sauté for 3–4 minutes until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates. Season with seasoned salt and pepper. Continue cooking another 6–7 minutes, until vegetables are tender.

  • Add garlic, poultry seasoning, and thyme. Sauté for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.

  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir well to coat and cook for 1 minute.

  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the milk and increase heat to medium-high.

  • Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Add gnocchi, stir, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until gnocchi are tender.

  • Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  • Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

  • Gnocchi size matters: Some brands come in 16 oz packages instead of 12 oz. If using more gnocchi, add extra broth or milk to keep it creamy.

  • Shortcut chicken: Rotisserie chicken works perfectly here.

  • Extra richness: Use whole milk or add a splash of cream if dairy isn’t an issue.

  • Veggie swaps: Green beans or corn can replace peas.

  • Make it dairy-free: Use vegan butter and unsweetened plant-based milk.
