    Simple, quick, and easy dinner with a short ingredient list! This is a crowd pleaser that only takes 35 minutes. The soft, tender pillowy gnocchi is cooked in the sauce and cheese. The ground chicken makes this meal slightly healthier and helps keep you full!

    6 INGREDIENTS:

    • Olive Oil
    • Ground Chicken
    • Packages Gnocchi
    • Ricotta
    • Jarred Marinara Sauce
    • Grated Mozzarella
    Chicken Gnocchi Bake in a skillet with a spoon in it.

    The first step is cooking the ground chicken in an ovenproof skillet. Then mix in the jarred tomato sauce, prepackaged uncooked gnocchi, and ricotta. Smooth it out and top with mozzarella. Bake for 25- 30 minutes, and you're done! Serve with a Pear and Pecan Salad or Honey Mustard BLT Salad to balance the meal, and dinner is made!

    Recipe adapted from The Modern Proper Baked Gnocchi . I swapped out the sausage for ground turkey and lightened up the recipe.

      The perfect weekday meal for a busy family or anyone who comes home from work tired and needs a quick meal in a pinch. We paired with a pre-made salad kit. The family loved it, thanks Megan!
