instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the celery and turnip. Peel and medium dice the carrots and onion. Pick half the thyme leaves off the stems; discard the stems. Keep the remaining thyme sprigs whole.

2 Brown the chicken:

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer and cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned.

3 Add the vegetables:

Add the butter, diced celery, diced carrots, diced turnip, diced onion, and whole thyme sprigs to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened and the chicken is cooked through. Evenly top with the flour and spice blend. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the vegetables and chicken are evenly coated.

4 Make the gravy:

Add the milk and 2 cups of water to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until thickened.

5 Add the gnocchi:

Add the gnocchi and broth to the pan. Increase the heat to high and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender. Turn off the heat. Carefully remove and discard the whole thyme sprigs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
