Step-by-Step Instructions for Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add 1 pound of cubed boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot and sauté for 5–7 minutes until lightly browned.
Stir in one chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary, along with salt and pepper to taste, stirring to coat evenly.
Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring well and bringing to a gentle simmer.
Add 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables to the mixture, stirring well and heating through for 3–4 minutes.
Gently fold in 1 pound of fresh gnocchi until submerged in the creamy sauce.
Bring to a low simmer, cooking for 10–12 minutes until the gnocchi are tender.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
