Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter (42.4 grams)
3 celery stalks trimed and diced
2 medium carrots peeled and diced
1 small yellow onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup all purpose flour (40 grams)
4 cups chicken broth (907 grams)
2 cups half and half (454 grams)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (453.6 grams)
16 ounces potato gnocchi (453.6 grams)

Instructions

In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add in the diced celery, carrots, onions, and garlic. Then season with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir regularly, sautéing until the vegetables are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3 celery stalks, 2 medium carrots, 1 small yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Stir in 1/3 cup of all purpose flour so it fully coats the vegetables.
1/3 cup all purpose flour
Slowly stir in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits. Start with just a little at a time, about two tablespoons, only adding more once the last bit is absorbed. It should take about a minute to stir in all of the stock. Whisk in the half and half.
4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups half and half
Bring to a boil with the heat on high. Then add in the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, measuring 165 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant-read thermometer. Stir occasionally as the chicken cooks.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
Remove the fully cooked chicken and turn up the heat, bringing the liquid to a boil. Once boiling, add the gnocchi and cook for five minutes.
16 ounces potato gnocchi
While the gnocchi is cooking, shred the chicken.
Once the gnocchi are done cooking, return the chicken to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Serve and enjoy.
