- 4 cloves garlic (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 or half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

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, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat vegetables. Cook for about 2 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in chicken stock followed by milk. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg if desired.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add gnocchi and cook uncovered for 4–5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Stir in cooked chicken and peas. Simmer until heated through and sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
- Fold in fresh herbs like parsley and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with grated Parmesan if desired for an extra flavor boost. Enjoy!
