One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie

Directions:

Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Melt butter in the pan, then add carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions. Sauté until the mushrooms release their liquid and the liquid has evaporated, about 3-4 minutes.
Season with homemade seasoned salt and pepper, and continue to sauté, turning the heat down slightly if necessary, until vegetables are tender, about 6-7 minutes.
Add garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme, then sauté until the garlic is very fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps, then add milk and turn the heat up to medium-high.
Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring occasionally. Add gnocchi and stir to combine. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in chicken and peas, then taste and add seasoned salt and/or pepper if necessary. Ladle into bowls, then serve hot.
