Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (60 ml)
- 1 cup sliced carrots (150 g)
- 4 oz mushrooms, sliced (113 g)
- 1 large or 2 small ribs celery, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped
- homemade seasoned salt and pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) poultry seasoning
- pinch dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (23 g)
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth (480 ml)
- 1 cup milk, any kind, I use unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
- 12 oz package halal-friendly gnocchi (340 g)
- 1-1/2 cups shredded chicken breast, ~1/2 lb pre-cooked (225 g)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (75 g)
Instructions
- Warm up a large pot or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to the pan, then incorporate the carrots, mushrooms, celery, and chopped shallots or onions. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, around 3-4 minutes. Add homemade seasoned salt and pepper, continuing to cook and occasionally lowering the heat, until the vegetables soften, another 6-7 minutes.
- Incorporate the garlic, poultry seasoning, and a pinch of dried thyme, cooking until the garlic becomes very aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.
- Dust the vegetables with flour, then mix well and cook for an additional minute. Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, then add the milk and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, stirring now and then, and then add the gnocchi, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer, stirring often, until the gnocchi are cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Mix in the shredded chicken and frozen peas, then taste and adjust seasoning with seasoned salt and/or pepper if needed. Serve by ladling into bowls.
Notes
- Consider using homemade chicken stock for a more flavorful dish.
- Add extra vegetables like diced potatoes or green beans for a heartier meal.
- Experiment with different types of milk, such as coconut milk or oat milk, to enhance the flavor.
