\u00a0Ingredients<\/h2>\n

For the base:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced \u2013 rotisserie works great)<\/li>\n
  • 1 package (about 500g \/ 16 oz) potato gnocchi<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Vegetables:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped<\/li>\n
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
    • 2 medium carrots, diced small<\/li>\n
    • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced<\/li>\n
    • 1 cup frozen or fresh peas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      For the sauce:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
      • 2 cups chicken broth (preferably low sodium)<\/li>\n
      • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)<\/li>\n
      • \u00bd cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but highly recommended)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Seasonings:<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Salt and black pepper (to taste)<\/li>\n
        • 1 teaspoon dried thyme<\/li>\n
        • \u00bd teaspoon dried parsley (or fresh if available)<\/li>\n
        • Optional: a pinch of nutmeg (adds depth and warmth)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \u00a0Instructions (Step-by-Step)<\/h2>\n

          \u00a0Step 1: Saut\u00e9 the aromatics<\/h3>\n

          In a large deep skillet or pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.<\/p>\n

          Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3\u20134 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir occasionally so it doesn\u2019t burn.<\/p>\n

          Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 2: Cook the vegetables<\/h3>\n

          Add the diced carrots and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for about 5\u20137 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and slightly caramelize.<\/p>\n

          This step builds a lot of flavor, so don\u2019t rush it.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 3: Add the chicken<\/h3>\n

          Stir in the cooked chicken and mix well with the vegetables.<\/p>\n

          Season with salt, black pepper, thyme, and parsley. Let everything cook together for 2\u20133 minutes so the flavors combine.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 4: Build the creamy sauce<\/h3>\n

          Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir continuously for about 1 minute. This helps thicken the sauce later and removes the raw flour taste.<\/p>\n

          Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. The mixture will begin to thicken.<\/p>\n

          Once smooth, add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce becomes rich and creamy.<\/p>\n

          If you like extra depth, add a tiny pinch of nutmeg here.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 5: Add the gnocchi<\/h3>\n

          Add the gnocchi directly into the sauce (no need to pre-boil).<\/p>\n

          Let it simmer gently for about 5\u20137 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.<\/p>\n

          If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to loosen it.<\/p>\n

          \u00a0Step 6: Final touches<\/h3>\n

          Add the peas and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.<\/p>\n

          Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.<\/p>\n

          Turn off the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving\u2014the sauce will thicken slightly more.<\/p>\n

          Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n

          Serve this dish hot, straight from the pan. It pairs wonderfully with:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Crusty bread (to soak up the sauce)<\/li>\n
          • A light green salad for balance<\/li>\n
          • A sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \u00a0Tips & Variations<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • Make it lighter:<\/strong> Use milk instead of heavy cream, or reduce the cheese.<\/li>\n
            • Add more veggies:<\/strong> Corn, spinach, or green beans work beautifully.<\/li>\n
            • Herb upgrade:<\/strong> Fresh thyme or rosemary will elevate the flavor.<\/li>\n
            • Make it vegetarian:<\/strong> Skip the chicken and use vegetable broth + extra mushrooms.<\/li>\n
            • Extra golden finish:<\/strong> Broil the dish for 2\u20133 minutes with cheese on top for a baked effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \u00a0Storage & Reheating<\/h2>\n
                \n
              • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.<\/li>\n
              • Reheat on the stove with a splash of milk or broth to bring back the creamy texture.<\/li>\n
              • Not ideal for freezing, as the cream sauce may separate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                \u00a0Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n
                  \n
