Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed
- 16 ounces gnocchi 1 package
- 2 cups marinara sauce divided
- 8 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese sliced
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add in the chicken and cook until golden brown and the inside is no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- If the pan is dry, add in another tablespoon of oil. Sauté the gnocchi until golden, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Spread one-third of the marinara in the bottom. Top with half of the chicken, then half the mozzarella. Repeat with sauce, chicken, gnocchi, sauce and mozzarella. Top with parmesan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Broil for another 1-2 minutes to turn the cheese golden brown. Remove from the oven, top with basil, serve and enjoy!
