Baked Gnocchi With Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN-AND-GNOCCHI BAKE WITH BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour; cook 30 seconds, then whisk in broth. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute.
• Add Broccolini, cover, and cook 2 minutes. Uncover and add gnocchi; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chicken, Gruyère, and 1/4 cup Parmigiano. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide mixture among four 12-ounce baking dishes (or transfer to one large baking dish or ovenproof skillet). Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano. Bake until bubbly in center and golden brown on top, about 15 minutes (20 minutes if baked in one dish). Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.

BAKED MUSHROOM, SPINACH, AND CHICKEN GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until starting to soften, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl. Wipe out skillet.
• Melt butter in the same skillet. Whisk in flour until a paste forms, about 3 minutes. Whisk in milk and broth until smooth. Simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and nutmeg. Add mushrooms, chicken, gnocchi, and spinach to the sauce. Stir until gnocchi are coated and spinach wilts, about 3 minutes.
• Pour mixture into a large baking dish. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 20 minutes.

BAKED GNOCCHI WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat your skillet over medium high heat, add the oil, then mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes or so. Transfer mushrooms to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and melt the butter in the skillet. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking, for about 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk and chicken broth, simmering while whisking, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg.
• Add in the chicken, mushrooms, gnocchi, and spinach. Stir to coat everything and wilt the spinach. Sprinkle with Parmesan, then transfer the whole shebang to the oven. If using a separate casserole, transfer everything to the casserole, then sprinkle with the Parmesan.
• Bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. If you like, turn on the broiler and brown the top for about 3 minutes.

ROSEMARY-GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to a sheet pan and season all over with 1½ teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic and rosemary with a fork. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Add the oil mixture and the gnocchi to the chicken. Toss with your hands to coat, massaging the garlic and rosemary into the chicken and gnocchi. Arrange the gnocchi in an even layer, and place the chicken skin side up on top of the gnocchi. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to plates and finely grate the zest of half the lemon over the chicken. Squeeze the juice of half the lemon onto the gnocchi (about 1½ tablespoons), then use a spoon to scrape up the browned bits on the sheet pan and toss the gnocchi in the lemon juice and pan drippings. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges. Eat the chicken with the gnocchi and a lemon wedge for squeezing over.
