One Pan Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi

I’m always looking for more cozy meals to add to my weeknight dinner rotation and this One Pan Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi is perfect for that! It’s made with simple ingredients but has all the flavor of chicken pot pie without using the biscuits and with gnocchi instead!

One Pan Chicken Pot Pie Gnocchi

One-pan meals will always have my heart, and this one-pan chicken pot pie gnocchi truly checks every box. Thereโ€™s nothing better than a comforting, flavor-packed dinner that comes together in a single pan with minimal ingredients and even less cleanup. This dish has all the classic, nostalgic flavors of chicken pot pie, but with a fun twist by using pillowy potato gnocchi instead of a traditional crust. Itโ€™s warm, cozy, and exactly the kind of meal you crave on a busy weeknight.

What makes this recipe even better is how nourishing it is. Using rotisserie chicken makes it super easy while packing in plenty of protein, and the creamy base is made with cottage cheese for an extra protein boost without sacrificing that rich, comforting texture. If you prefer, you can easily swap the potato gnocchi for cauliflower gnocchi to fit your preferences. This is the kind of balanced, satisfying meal that feels indulgent but still fuels you well โ€” definitely one to add into your easy dinner rotation.

How to store your leftover chicken pot pie gnocchi:

It’s best to store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. I like using these for easy fridge storage.

If you want to switch it up, try doing this instead:

  • Use whatever veggies you prefer!
  • Try it with shredded chicken breast instead
  • Leave out the chicken to make it a veggie forward meal

FAQs:

Can I use any veggies?

Yes! I like using the mixed veggies with peas, corn, green beans but you can use any mixed veggies that you like or have on hand.

Yes! You can definitely substitute the potato gnocchi for cauliflower gnocchi.

Is this good for meal prep?

This would be great for leftovers the next day but I wouldn’t plan for this multiple days in a row.
