Although we’ve got a few weeks of sweet summer left, the chaos of the school year has descended upon us. My calendar is full of appointments and orientations, and I know things won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Gwen will be starting dance in a few weeks (her little ballet shoes? I literally cannot!) Cam will be trying his hand, or ratherfoot, at soccer this fall, and I’m on the hunt for an archery class for Mr Lincoln.
May the odds be ever in our favor!
That said, I’m stockpiling easy, family friendly recipes that can be made in a jif, and One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie totally fits the bill. This ultra cozy, gluten free dinner recipe cooks in under 30 minutes, and in one pan, making it perfect for this busy time of year!
Watch How to Make It!
Chicken Pot Pie + Chicken & Dumplings
One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie is like the love child between Chicken & Dumplings and Chicken Pot Pie. We’re pairing thick and creamy Chicken Pot Pie filling with the craveable, chewy texture of Chicken & Dumplings by adding tender, gluten free gnocchi into the mix.
All the coziness of each, yet no crusts nor dumplings to make. This remix is a total upgrade!
Couple of Recipe Notes
- Prep ahead: This recipe can be prepped ahead of time then cooked in under 30 minutes. Take 20 minutes on Sunday to chop the vegetables, cook/shred the chicken, and you’ll be off to the races on any busy weeknight.
- Gluten free gnocchi: I’m sharing the brand of GF gnocchi I love below, but if you’re using a different brand, or non GF gnocchi, pay attention to the size of the box which can differ by brand/type. You’ll need a 12oz box for this recipe.
- Dairy free: This recipe can be easily made dairy free by using non dairy butter to saute the vegetables, and a milk alternative to create the creamy pot pie filling. I like Earth Balance Soy Free Vegan Butter and unsweetened almond milk, respectively.
Grab your goggles and let’s dive into this pot of complete and total lusciousness!
How to Make This Recipe
Start by sautingcarrots, celery, mushrooms, and shallots or onionin a little butter or vegan butter in a Dutch Oven over medium-high heat. Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper then cook until the vegetables are tender, 8-10 minutes.
Add minced garlic, poultry seasoning, plus a pinch of dried thyme then saute until the garlic is very fragrant, another minute or two.
Sprinkle 3 Tablespoons gluten free flour over the vegetables then stir to combine and cook for 1 minute. The flour will look a little “gravely” – that’s ok!
I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten free baking flour, though any “measure for measure” type gluten free flour should work. If you don’t need to eat gluten free, you can use regular flour.
Next, slowly pour in chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps, plus milk and then stir until smooth. You can use any kind of milk you like – I use unsweetened almond milk. Once bubbling, add a 12oz package gluten free gnocchi then simmer, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender and plump, 5-6 minutes.
I have tried several brands of gluten free gnocchi, and always come back to Delallo brand – it’s great!
NOTE: Different brands – especially non gluten free brands – sell different weighted packages of gnocchi, so be sure to purchase a 12oz box, or be prepared to add more broth/milk if using a larger package.
Last step is to stir in cooked shredded chicken and frozen peasthen taste and add more seasoned salt and/or pepper if you need it.
Luscious and cozy like traditional Chicken Pot Pie, yet simpler and requires less than 30 minutes of cooking time. Such a great way to savor a moment of comfort and contentment during a busy week. Enjoy!

Having grown up in Jeannette, PA-my heart was happy to see Delallo’s gnocchi front and center. I shop there often and my parents knew George ❤️ This recipe is delicious as is. If I am feeling creative I will add a pinch of saffron and some Marsala wine in when I add the chicken broth. Thank you so much for an amazing recipe that my family loves.

This was great. I pressure cooked chicken legs and then used the stock I from them as well. So good. I also used Bell’s Seasoning which is an upgraded Poultry Seasoning in my view and I added more than a pinch of Thyme. I also found that if you let the dish sit for 15-20 minutes the gnocchi takes on more flavour from the sauce. Will definitely make again.

Cold winter day was craving something comforting, had a pack of gnocchi already and my toddler was a little unsure of it. This was a perfect combination of something new and something he already loves (pot pie). I used a pack of ground turkey as I didn’t have any chicken.
Will make again for sure!Reply

I don’t have a dutch oven. So, I’m wondering if this could be made in a slow cooker and if so, for how long?
Reply
- Kristin 02.08.2024
Hi Coleen! I’ve never made this recipe in the crock pot so unfortunately I can’t say for sure. If you have a soup pot that would also work!

Holy cats, this is delicious! Another winner! Full disclosure, this isn’t the kind of dish I normally eat, nor did I grow up with casseroles or pot pies. Like another reader, I don’t always like pie crusts, but I LOVE potatoes! And gnocchi! I’m going to have some yummy lunches this week–unless I eat it all today. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious and uncomplicated recipes!
