Baked Chicken and Gnocchi with Tomatoes and Basil
Jan 11, 2026 01:49 PM
This sheet pan chicken with gnocchi is crazy easy, but it tastes (and smells!) like something from an Italian restaurant. Juicy, seasoned chicken thighs bake along with soft gnocchi, soaking up garlicky tomato juices, with tangy goat cheese melting into it all. Sprinkle with a handful of fresh basil and you have a one-pan dinner that’s equal parts comforting, rustic, and downright delicious.
Ingredients:

- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (1 cup)
