Chicken Parmesan Gnocchi Bake

We are big fans of Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi! It’s a great product to keep in your freezer for quick & easy meals like this one. We love any excuse to add more cauliflower to our diet. Cauliflowers are a cruciferous vegetable that are rich in cancer-fighting antioxidants.

Ingredients
 

  • 12 ounces of Trader Joe’s frozen cauliflower gnocchi
  • 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 pound of ground chicken breast
  • 2 cups of marinara sauce we love Rao’s Arrabbiata Sauce if you like it spicy
  • ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
  • ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup of shredded parmesan cheese
  • Garnish: fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. 
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft for about 5 minutes. Add the ground chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the onions are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. 
  • While the chicken is cooking, place the frozen gnocchi in a non-stick skillet, add ¼ cup of water, cover and cook on medium until heated through and water is evaporated about 6-8 minutes.  Add ½ -1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and saute and for about 3-5 more minutes. Set aside. 
  • Add the gnocchi, marinara sauce and red pepper flakes to the skillet with the chicken mixture and stir to combine. Add the parmesan and stir again.
  • Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and bake on the top oven rack until hot and bubbling and the cheese turns golden brown about 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. 
  • Garnish with fresh basil.  Enjoy!
