Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add liquids and seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then add dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Incorporate vegetables and chicken: Add the mixed vegetables and cooked chicken to the pot. Stir to combine and continue simmering for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add gnocchi: Gently stir in the gnocchi, ensuring they are submerged in the creamy mixture. Simmer uncovered for another 3-5 minutes until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.
  5. Thicken the sauce (optional): If a thicker sauce is desired, sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Season and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot directly from the pot for a cozy and hearty meal.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken to save time; rotisserie chicken works great.
  • Frozen mixed vegetables can be used for convenience.
  • For extra richness, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the sauce will be less thick.
  • This dish keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheats nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
