Напрямки

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C Fan.

Add the chicken and onion to a large baking dish, then drizzle over the oil before stirring in the garlic granules, oregano and a good pinch each of salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes.

Add the gnocchi to the dish, spray with a little oil spray and mix, then pop back into the oven for a further 10 minutes.

Add the cornflour to a jug and pour in just enough of the milk to make a smooth paste. Add the cream cheese, mix it into the paste, then pour in the remaining milk. Add the pesto, 40g of the Parmesan and a hefty pinch each of salt and pepper, then stir well until you have a smooth sauce.

Pour the sauce over your gnocchi and chicken mixture in the baking dish. Top with the remaining Parmesan and bake for a further 15 minutes until golden, bubbling and delicious. Serve scattered with some fresh basil.

Нотатки

This oven-baked gnocchi is one of my most loved dishes across social media, and for good reason. Tender, pillowy gnocchi are baked with chicken and onions and coated in a creamy Parmesan and pesto sauce. I promise it really is as tasty as it sounds.

If the sauce looks a little thin at the end of the cooking time, just pop it back into the oven for a few extra minutes.
