Keep it juicy
Cook the chicken or turkey until just done, then let it rest briefly before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.
This easy, protein-packed one-tray meal combines tender chicken, fresh vegetables, soft gnocchi, and melted cheese for a hearty and delicious dish. It’s perfect for meal prep with minimal cleanup, offering a satisfying and flavorful experience.
Step by step
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
On a large baking tray, spread out the diced sweet potato, courgette, onion, cherry tomatoes, and chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Toss to combine. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
Remove the tray from the oven. Add the gnocchi and tomato passata, tossing gently to combine with the roasted chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over everything.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the gnocchi is tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy\!
