Ingredients
Scale
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium carrots (sliced)
- 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
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

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; cook until mushrooms release their moisture, which takes about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour, stirring to coat vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in chicken stock followed by milk, continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Add Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and optional nutmeg.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add gnocchi and cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Introduce cooked chicken and sweet peas into the pot. Simmer until everything is heated through and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Fold in fresh parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
