Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 ½ cups diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional plus additional for garnish)
- 15 ounces thawed frozen peas and carrots
- 2 teaspoons reduced salt chicken bouillon seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken white meat
- 2 cans cream of chicken with herbs soup (10.5 ounces each)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 12 ounces potato gnocchi
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large sauté pan (12 inches wide by 3 inches deep) over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms, diced yellow onion, fresh thyme leaves, chicken bouillon seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add Chicken and Soup: Incorporate the shredded rotisserie chicken, thawed peas and carrots, and cream of chicken with herbs soup into the pan. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
- Mix in Chicken Stock: Slowly stir in the chicken stock until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Simmer with Gnocchi: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the potato gnocchi, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat and garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves if desired. Serve hot for a comforting meal.

- You can swap rotisserie chicken with cooked homemade chicken for a fresher taste.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference; use low-sodium broth if preferred for lower salt content.
- Fresh thyme enhances flavor but is optional if unavailable.
- Stir frequently during simmering to prevent the gnocchi from sticking to the pan.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
