Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
  3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine, allowing the flour to cook for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Once the broth is simmering, stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Gently fold in the gnocchi and the cooked chicken back into the pot. Make sure everything is well combined and submerged in the creamy broth.
  8. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi are cooked through and floating to the top.
  9. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
  10. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a bit more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
  11. Give the pot pie a final taste. Adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
  12. Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pot from the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
  13. Ladle the one-pot gnocchi chicken pot pie into bowls. You can serve it as is or with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
  14. Let the dish cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container if you have any leftovers. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  15. To reheat, simply warm it up on the stove over medium heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen it up if it has thickened too much.
  16. For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with diced mushrooms or a mix of your favorite vegetables. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the chicken.
  17. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or green beans to the mix.
  18. Experiment with different herbs like basil or oregano for a unique flavor profile.
  19. For a cheesy version, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before serving.
  20. If you like a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the pot while cooking.
  21. If you’re using store-bought gnocchi, make sure to check the package instructions for cooking times.
  22. This dish is perfect for meal prep! You can make a big batch and portion it out for easy lunches or dinners throughout the week.
  23. This recipe serves about 4-6 people, depending on portion sizes.
  24. Pair this one-pot gnocchi chicken pot pie with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
