Description

This Chicken Parmesan Gnocchi Bake combines tender gnocchi, juicy chicken, and a rich marinara sauce topped with gooey melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. A comforting, one-pan dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy family meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for a crispy topping)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the gnocchi:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface (about 2–3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the base:
    • Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet or casserole dish over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
    • Stir in the marinara sauce, basil, and oregano. Cook for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
  3. Combine chicken and gnocchi:
    • Add the cooked gnocchi and chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
  4. Assemble the bake:
    • Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. If using, mix the panko breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle on top for extra crunch.
  5. Bake:
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken with Italian sausage or omit for a vegetarian version.
  • Add cooked spinach, mushrooms, or roasted vegetables for extra flavor.
  • If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish before adding the cheese and baking.
