When you combine chicken, broccoli, gnocchi, Alfredo sauce, bacon and cheese you get a very comforting and delicious dish.
Ever since my husband and I had Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup, I have felt the need to try Gnocchi in different recipes. Most of the recipes were not keepers except for this one and Loaded Baked Gnocchi. Both recipes are delicious and a great way to use gnocchi.
The updated pictures do not show broccoli, I had run out so I substituted with mixed veggies. I also put it under the broiler to brown the cheese on top a little bit.
Loaded Chicken Alfredo Gnocchi Bake
Ingredients:
- 3 cups gnocchi
- 2 cups frozen broccoli
- 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup crumbled turkey bacon
- 15 ounces Alfredo sauce

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions and drain.
- In a large bowl combine the gnocchi, broccoli, chicken, bacon and Alfredo sauce. Transfer mixture to a 9x13 baking dish and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until casserole is heated through and cheese is melted. If desired put it under the broiler to brown the cheese a little bit.
Notes:
I used my Homemade Alfredo Sauce to help reduce the amount of sodium in this dish.
