Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely diced
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half/heavy cream)
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 (17.6-ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Add onions, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 7–10 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in garlic, thyme, and rosemary; cook for 1 more minute.
- Push vegetables to the side, melt butter on the cleared side, and stir in flour to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Simmer and season with salt and pepper.
- Return chicken to the pot, add peas and corn, and simmer covered for 10–15 minutes.
- Stir in gnocchi, cook until floating and tender (3–5 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in parsley and serve hot with a sprinkle of Parmesan.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with roasted butternut squash and use vegetable broth.
