Why You’ll Love This One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie

The brilliance of this pot pie lies in substituting gnocchi for pie crust, creating a dish that’s hearty, creamy, and delightfully chewy all at once. Each bite is loaded with juicy chicken, vibrant veggies, and tender gnocchi bathed in a savory sauce. There’s no need to fuss with dough or multiple dishes—just comforting flavors in every mouthful, perfect for a chilly evening or whenever you need a little food hug.

Essential Prep and Pro Tips

Chopping vegetables quickly and evenly ensures every ingredient cooks at the same rate, for which the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper is invaluable. For shredding cooked chicken with ease (especially if you’re starting with rotisserie or leftover chicken), a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen makes the process fast and mess-free.

When it comes to building flavor, start with a good-quality nonstick skillet, such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, guaranteeing even sautéing and easy cleanup.

Assembly and Customization

This recipe is endlessly flexible! Swap in your favorite vegetables, or utilize leftover rotisserie chicken for efficiency. During the final step, adding gnocchi straight to the pot allows it to absorb all the savory, silky sauce, meaning every bite is infused with pot pie goodness.

Ladle your gnocchi chicken pot pie into deep bowls and top with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a crack of black pepper for a touch of brightness. Pair with a crisp side salad or enjoy as a hearty standalone meal. For the perfect warm-up meal, serve it with a hot beverage in your favorite insulated tumbler for ultimate coziness.

Instructions

1. In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven (such as the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet), melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened.
2. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink (about 4–5 minutes). If using cooked or shredded chicken, simply toss it in to warm through. Quickly shred chicken using the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen if desired.
3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring to coat veggies and chicken. Cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add thyme and parsley, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
4. Add in gnocchi and frozen peas. Simmer, uncovered, for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened.
5. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream or milk. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
6. Spoon into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy! Store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for up to three days in the fridge.
