Ingredients
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
Seasonings & Spices
- Homemade seasoned salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
Liquids & Fats
- 4 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup milk, any kind (unsweetened almond milk suggested)
Main Ingredients
- 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 (approximately 1/2 lb pre-cooked)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add sliced carrots, mushrooms, celery, and chopped shallots or onions. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and the liquid evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper. Continue sautéing, lowering the heat slightly if needed, until the vegetables are tender, another 6-7 minutes.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes very fragrant, ensuring the spices are well incorporated.
- Create the sauce base: Sprinkle the gluten free flour over the vegetables and stir to evenly coat. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Add the milk and increase the heat to medium-high.
- Simmer with gnocchi: Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the gluten free gnocchi and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer while stirring frequently until the gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Finish and serve: Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional seasoned salt and pepper if needed. Ladle the pot pie mixture into bowls and serve warm.
Notes
- I prefer using Delallo Gluten Free Gnocchi for the best texture and flavor.
- Some gnocchi brands, particularly non-gluten free ones, come in 16 oz packages instead of 12 oz. If using a larger package, increase the amount of broth and/or milk accordingly to maintain the right consistency.
