About the Ingredients
Chicken thighs stay juicy and tender during cooking. Gnocchi are small potato dumplings that absorb flavor from the broth. Marsala wine adds a slightly sweet, rich flavor, while mushrooms and thyme give the soup a deep, earthy taste. The cream makes it smooth and comforting.
How To Make Easy Step By Step
- Dry the chicken and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Coat both sides with flour.
- Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a pot and cook chicken until golden and fully cooked. Let it cool, then shred into pieces.
- In the same pot, add 2 Tbsp oil and cook mushrooms until brown. Remove them from the pot.
- Melt butter in the pot, add shallots, garlic, and thyme. Cook until soft and fragrant.
- Mix in 1/4 cup flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in Marsala wine while whisking to avoid lumps.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, cream, and gnocchi. Cook gnocchi as per package instructions.
