Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi (store-bought is fine)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, green beans, or whatever you prefer)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (substitute with coconut milk for a lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until they begin to soften.
  5. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine.
  6. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid clumps.
  7. Add the shredded chicken and dried thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Reduce heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until smooth.
  9. Season with salt and pepper and gently fold in the gnocchi.
  10. Allow the gnocchi to cook in the warm sauce for about 3-4 minutes.
  11. If desired, transfer to a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk or a dairy-free alternative. To make vegetarian, swap chicken for cubed tofu or chickpeas and use vegetable broth.
