Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great!)
1 (16 oz) package potato gnocchi
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas

Instructions
Sauté the Veggie Base: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened.
Build That Creamy Pot Pie Sauce: Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth, followed by cream, stirring until thickened.
Add Chicken & Season Generously: Stir in shredded chicken, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5–6 minutes.
Cook the Gnocchi Right In: Add the gnocchi and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are soft and pillowy.
