step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Halve the celery lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Pick half the thyme leaves off the stems, leaving the rest whole.

2 Cook the chicken & vegetables

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a large bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Toss to coat. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the butter, diced onion, celery pieces, carrot pieces, and whole thyme sprigs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked through. Evenly top with the flour. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined.

3 Make the gravy

Add the milk (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), demi-glace, and 2 cups of water; season with salt and pepper. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes, or until thickened.

4 Cook the gnocchi & serve your dish

To the pot, add the gnocchi and cream. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender. Turn off the heat. Carefully remove the thyme sprigs. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked chicken, vegetables, and gnocchi garnished with as much of the thyme leaves as you’d like. Enjoy!
