# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add butter and let it melt. Incorporate carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallot or onion. Sauté until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 3–4 minutes. Season lightly with seasoned salt and black pepper. Continue cooking, adjusting heat if necessary, until vegetables are tender, 6–7 minutes more.
02 -
Add garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Sauté until garlic is very fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
03 -
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir to coat thoroughly and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flavor.
04 -
Gradually pour in chicken stock while stirring to ensure a smooth consistency, then add milk. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
05 -
Add gnocchi to the simmering mixture and stir to combine. Lower heat to medium. Simmer, stirring often, until gnocchi are tender, approximately 5–6 minutes.
06 -
Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed. Serve hot.
# Important Notes:
01 -
If using a 450-gram (16 oz) package of gnocchi, increase the broth and milk accordingly to maintain a creamy texture.
02 -
For best consistency, use smaller or uniform gnocchi for even cooking.
03 -
This dish works well with leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken breast.
