  2. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Stir in garlic and thyme, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the roux.
  6. Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer and return the chicken to the pot.
  8. Add the gnocchi and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and have floated to the surface.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. Simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and peas are heated through.
  10. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
