Creating your One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables and Herbs: Stir in the mixed vegetables, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
4. Combine Broth and Cream: Gradually add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
