One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie

Step 4: Add Milk and Seasoning

Stir in the milk (or half-and-half), thyme, pepper, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. It will start to thicken into a creamy sauce.

Step 5: Add Gnocchi and Chicken

Return the cooked chicken to the pot, along with any juices.
Stir in the gnocchi and frozen peas (plus optional corn or mushrooms if using).
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let it cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and cooked through.

Step 6: Final Touches

Stir in the grated Parmesan for added creaminess and flavor (optional but recommended).
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Let it sit uncovered for a minute or two to thicken further.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme.
Serve hot and enjoy every spoonful of this warm, cozy comfort dish.
