Vegetables
- 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
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Seasonings
- Homemade seasoned salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
Liquid & Dairy
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup milk, any kind (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
Other Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 3 Tablespoons gluten free flour (or all-purpose flour if not gluten-free)
- 12 oz package gluten free gnocchi
- 1 1/2 cups shredded chicken breast (~1/2 lb pre-cooked)
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper. Continue to sauté, lowering the heat slightly if needed, until the vegetables are tender, about 6-7 more minutes.
- Add Aromatics and Seasonings: Stir in the garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes very fragrant.
- Create the Roux: Sprinkle the gluten free flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add Liquids and Simmer: Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the milk and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, occasionally stirring.
- Cook Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the simmering sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Combine Chicken and Peas: Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Heat through and taste, adjusting seasoning with additional seasoned salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Ladle the pot pie mixture into bowls and serve hot for a delicious one-pot meal.
Notes
- You can substitute regular flour for gluten free flour if you are not gluten-sensitive.
- Use vegan butter and plant-based milk to make this dish dairy-free and vegan-friendly (replace chicken with plant-based protein).
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme at the end for extra flavor.
- Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more broth or milk as needed.
