One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie

A comforting and easy one-pot meal that combines the classic flavors of chicken pot pie with pillowy gnocchi for a hearty dinner.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 (16-ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  3. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute.
  6. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Stir in the dried thyme and return the cooked chicken to the pot.
  8. Add the gnocchi and frozen peas. Stir to combine.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

For a golden-brown top, transfer the finished dish to an oven-safe skillet and broil for 2-3 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the gnocchi will continue to absorb liquid, so add a splash of broth when reheating.
