Description
A simple recipe for baked chicken, broccoli, and gnocchi with a garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place the seasoned chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- In the same bowl, combine the uncooked gnocchi and broccoli florets.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, chicken broth, minced garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Pour the cream mixture over the gnocchi and broccoli in the baking dish. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the gnocchi is tender.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts if you prefer.
- For a richer flavor, use fresh garlic instead of dried.
- If the sauce seems too thick after baking, stir in a tablespoon of milk or broth.
