Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders
- 10 ounces package gnocchi
- 10 grams butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup marinara sauce or stewed tomatoes + ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese 21g
- ¾ cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese 84g
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, parsley, or basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and arrange 5 oven-safe containers on a cookie sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Over medium heat, cook with a little salt and pepper until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the butter. Once melted, toss in the gnocchi and sauté for a few minutes until golden brown. If they start sticking, add a splash of the chicken broth.
- Pour in the remaining broth and let the gnocchi simmer for about 5 minutes, until the liquid thickens slightly.
- Turn off the heat and add the marinara sauce and cooked chicken. Stir well to coat everything.
- Evenly divide into the prepared containers (about 1 cup each). Top with mozzarella and parmesan.
- Bake for 3–5 minutes (or broil on high) until the cheese melts and the tops are lightly crispy.
