04 - 1 cup diced celery

→ Other
07 - 1.1 lbs potato gnocchi
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
11 - 2 cups chicken broth
12 - 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
13 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
14 - 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
15 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
16 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
17 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
18 - Fresh parsley, chopped
# Directions:
01 - Heat olive oil and butter in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until vegetables are soft.
02 - Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 - Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stirring constantly, and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
04 - Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring well to avoid lumps. Add thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
05 - Add the uncooked gnocchi, chicken, and peas. Stir gently to combine and ensure the gnocchi are submerged. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gnocchi are cooked and sauce is creamy.
06 - Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan if using. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one pan so you spend more time eating and less time scrubbing dishes
- The gnocchi soaks up all that creamy sauce and becomes impossibly tender without any oven time
- It comes together in under 45 minutes but tastes like it simmered all afternoon
02 -
- Once you add the gnocchi, it absorbs liquid fast so if the sauce looks too thick, splash in a bit more broth before serving
- The sauce continues thickening as it sits off heat, so dont worry if it looks slightly looser than you want initially
03 -
- Use a pan with high sides because the sauce bubbles up when you first add the milk and broth
- Taste your sauce before adding the gnocchi and adjust the seasoning then, its harder to fix once theyre in
