Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium carrots (sliced into half-moons)
- 3 celery ribs (diced)
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms (quartered)
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or GF flour blend)
- 3 cups chicken stock (homemade preferred)
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 16 ounces fresh potato gnocchi
- 2 1/2 cups cooked chicken (torn into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup sweet peas (fresh or frozen)

Instructions
- Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until vegetables soften, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and garlic to the skillet. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes while stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Gradually whisk in chicken stock and then milk. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Incorporate Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg if using.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add gnocchi to the pot and cook uncovered for 4–5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Stir in cooked chicken and sweet peas. Simmer until fully heated through and sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
- Fold in fresh parsley and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired for an extra touch of flavor.
