The chaos of the school year has descended upon us — our calendar is full of appointments and orientations, and I know things won’t be slowing down anytime soon. My youngest starts dance in a few weeks (her little ballet shoes? I cannot!) my middle will be trying his hand, or rather foot, at soccer this fall, and I’m on the hunt for an archery class for my oldest. May the odds be ever in our favor! That said, I’m stockpiling easy, family friendly recipes that can be made in a jif, and One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie totally fits the bill. This ultra cozy, gluten free dinner recipe cooks in under 30 minutes, and in one pan, making it perfect for this busy time of year!
Watch How to Make It
Chicken Pot Pie + Chicken & Dumplings
One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie is like the love child between Chicken & Dumplings and Chicken Pot Pie. We’re pairing thick and creamy Chicken Pot Pie filling with the craveable, chewy texture of Chicken & Dumplings by adding tender, gluten free gnocchi into the mix. All the coziness of each, yet no crusts nor dumplings to make. This remix is a total upgrade!
Recipe Tips for Success
Grab your goggles and let’s dive into this pot of complete and total lusciousness!
How to Make This Recipe
Start by sauting carrots, celery, mushrooms, and shallots or onion in a little butter or vegan butter in a Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper then cook until the vegetables are tender, 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic, poultry seasoning, plus a pinch of dried thyme then saute until the garlic is very fragrant, another minute or two.
Sprinkle 3 Tablespoons gluten free flour over the vegetables then stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. The flour will look a little “gravely” – that’s ok! I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten free baking flour, though any “measure for measure” type gluten free flour should work. If you don’t need to eat gluten free, you can use regular flour.
Next, slowly pour in chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps, plus milk and then stir until smooth. You can use any kind of milk you like – I use unsweetened almond milk. Once bubbling, add a 12oz package gluten free gnocchi then simmer, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender and plump, 5-6 minutes.
I have tried several brands of gluten free gnocchi, and always come back to Delallo brand – it’s great!
Last step is to stir in cooked shredded chicken and frozen peas then taste and add more seasoned salt and/or pepper if you need it.
Luscious and cozy like traditional Chicken Pot Pie, yet simpler and requires less than 30 minutes of cooking time. Such a great way to savor a moment of comfort and contentment during a busy week. Enjoy!
