Why You’ll Love This Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie
The magic of this recipe lies in its blend of classic pot pie filling and the irresistible chew of gnocchi. Instead of pastry, gnocchi soaks up a luscious, herb-flecked sauce, creating a satisfying, stick-to-your-ribs dinner. Everything comes together in about 30 minutes, making this dish a weeknight champion—rich, comforting, and practically effortless.
Prepping Ingredients Made Easy
Chopping veggies is a breeze with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, saving you time and guaranteeing evenly diced carrots, onions, and celery for perfect texture. Start by prepping chicken (rotisserie works in a pinch for even faster meals) and gathering any frozen or fresh vegetables you love.
Don’t forget: a solid cutting surface like the Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 keeps things tidy, and you’ll want a reliable nonstick pot—the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch is ideal for this one pot wonder.
A Simple One Pot Assembly
To maximize flavor, start by sautéing your aromatics (like garlic, onion, and celery) in a bit of butter or oil. Stir in cubed chicken and cook until golden. Toss in your diced carrots and peas, sprinkle in flour to thicken, and pour in broth to make a creamy base.
Next, add your potato gnocchi straight into the simmering sauce—no need to boil separately! The gnocchi cook up soft and pillowy as they soak in the flavor of the pot pie filling. Use the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher if you want to gently break up bite-sized chunks of chicken or vegetables to suit your texture preference.
Finishing Touches & Serving Suggestions
When the sauce is thick and the gnocchi are pillowy, stir in a splash of cream to finish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Spoon into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.
If you’re prepping ahead or wanting leftovers, store portions in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for easy grab-and-go lunches or quick reheating.
Pair with a crisp green salad and a cold drink for the ultimate stress-free comfort meal.
