Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs (cooked and shredded)
  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Topping:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In a large pot, melt butter and olive oil. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, sauté until softened.
  3. Add herbs and flour: Stir in thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Make the sauce: Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, simmer until thickened.
  5. Combine filling ingredients: Add chicken, gnocchi, peas, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  6. Assemble and bake: Transfer filling to a baking dish, top with puff pastry, brush with egg wash, bake until golden.
  7. Serve: Let rest before serving.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, use rotisserie chicken and store-bought gnocchi.
  • You can customize by adding mushrooms or using heavy cream for a richer sauce.
  • To make ahead, prepare the filling and refrigerate, then bake with puff pastry just before serving.
