Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 3 garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly until smooth.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add gnocchi and cooked chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until gnocchi are tender and sauce has thickened.
  5. Stir in frozen peas, heavy cream, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary along with the garlic. If you prefer a thinner sauce, reduce the amount of flour slightly. This dish reheats well and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
