Description

Chicken Parmesan Gnocchi Bake is a comforting and hearty Italian-American dish featuring pillowy potato gnocchi, tender cooked chicken, rich marinara sauce, and a melty blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, baked to golden perfection for a cheesy, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Sautéing

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the dish.
  2. Cook Gnocchi: Prepare potato gnocchi according to the package instructions, then drain well to remove excess water.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Prepare Sauce: Add marinara sauce and Italian seasoning to the skillet with the garlic and warm through, stirring to combine the flavors.
  5. Combine Ingredients: In a baking dish, mix the cooked gnocchi, shredded or diced cooked chicken, and the warmed marinara sauce together evenly.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the gnocchi mixture.
  7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bake cool slightly before serving to allow the sauce to set and prevent burns.

Notes

  • For extra nutrition, add fresh spinach or sliced mushrooms to the mixture before baking.
  • You can substitute marinara with your favorite tomato sauce or homemade sauce for personalized flavor.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for quick meals.
