Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
  • 1 tablespoon water optional, for cornstarch
  • 1 pre-made pie crust optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and gnocchi, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the gnocchi are tender.
  4. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then stir it into the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas and cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
  6. If using a pie crust, preheat the oven to 400°F. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, cover with the pie crust, and cut slits for steam to escape. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  7. If not using a pie crust, serve the creamy chicken and gnocchi mixture directly from the pot.
