Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
03 -
Add diced 1/2 cup yellow onion, 1 cup carrots, and 1/2 cup celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 minced cloves garlic, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp dried sage, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables, stirring constantly for 1 minute to create a roux. This step is crucial for achieving the rich, creamy texture of your One Pot Gnocchi Chicken Pot Pie | Cozy & Easy.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir in 1/2 cup frozen peas and 1/2 cup frozen corn, cooking for 2-3 minutes more.
