Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups gnocchi
- 1 cup peas
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5‑7 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and carrots; sauté until softened, about 3‑4 minutes.
- Stir in gnocchi and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until gnocchi float.
- Add peas and heavy cream, stirring until combined. Cook 2‑3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
