I love gnocchi. Noone else in my house is as nuts about it as I am, so I don’t make it as often as I’d like. While many times I simply have it with butter, there are times I like to change things up a bit. One of the many ways to do this is by adding a meat. The dish pulls most of its flavor from the tomatoes, which is why I use the seasoned variety. I use my caldero to make it because it goes easily from stovetop to oven, making it a one-pot meal. Here’s how I made it.
One-Pot Chicken Gnocchi Bake
Equipment and tools needed
Ingredients
- 2x 16 oz packages gnocchi with potato (found in pasta aisle)
- 12-18 oz cooked chicken (I used 8x 9oz packages Perdue Short Cuts)
- 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (basil, onion and garlic variety)
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 f.
Boil gnocchi according to instructions on the package.
When the gnocchi is cooked, drain and return to the caldero.
Drain the juice from the tomatoes into the caldero and stir.
Add the chicken and stir.
Add the diced tomatoes and stir.
Slice the mozzarella into slabs and place on top of everything else.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese on the top is melting.
Serve immediately with salt and pepper to taste.

October 29, 2016 at 9:30 amThis looks fantastic! I’m a picky eater, but I would actually eat everything in that recipe (you have no idea how rare that is, for me to not have to omit things, lol). My gran used to make gnocchi when I was little. She called them “doughboys” for some reason, so that’s what I always thought they were called until I grew up.
