Cooking Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook until vegetables soften, 6-8 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and garlic, cook until mushrooms release their moisture, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in flour, stir to coat vegetables. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually whisk in stock, then milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add Dijon, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg if using.
  • Bring to gentle simmer and add gnocchi. Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in chicken and peas. Simmer until heated through and sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Fold in fresh herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Top with Parmesan if desired.

Notes

A 5-quart or larger Dutch Oven works best. Rotisserie, poached, or roasted chicken options all work well. Prep vegetables up to 2 days in advance. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating. Variations can include turkey or different seasonal vegetables.
