❤️ Why You’ll Love This Sheet Pan Gnocchi
Easy: What I love about a sheet pan meal is how simple they are. Prep the chicken on one sheet pan, prep the gnocchi on another, and throw them in the oven to have a delicious meal ready in under an hour. Crispy: What’s so yummy about this Sheet Pan Gnocchi is the crispy gnocchi that is so dang good. The gnocchi is tossed with seasoning, cheese, and butter when cooked it gets nice and crispy. Healthy: This recipe combines a lean protein (chicken) with veggies and delicious little potato pillows (the gnocchi). It’s a complete meal that you can feel good about serving to your family.
🍲 Ingredients
Gnocchi – Gnocchi is often mistaken as pasta but it is made from potatoes vs. flour and egg. They are little potato dumplings and are so versatile. You can use them to make a creamy “pasta” inspired dish like this Truffle Gnocchi or throw it into soup like this Baked French Onion Soup recipe. Chicken Thighs – Chicken thighs are fattier and have a more intense flavor. I also find when baking thighs, they remain much more juicy and flavorful than chicken breasts. They are also still a great source of protein, as well as essential nutrients.
