Cooking Steps
Custom Recipe: If you've added chicken breast, cut chicken into 2cm chunks.
Custom Recipe: In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Transfer to bowl with the veggies.
• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook gnocchi, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6-8 minutes.
TIP: Add extra oil if the gnocchi is sticking to the pan!
Custom Recipe: Return cooked chicken to the pan with the veggies.
• Transfer the saucy gnocchi to a baking dish. • Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. • Grill until cheese is melted and golden, 5-10 minutes.
TIP: Grills cook fast, so keep an eye on the gnocchi!
• Divide cheesy Mexican-spiced grilled gnocchi between bowls. • Top with chilli flakes (if using) and sprinkle over spring onions to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The Mexican spice blend and melted cheddar deliver bold, cheesy flavour that many found surprisingly delicious. Some felt the combination of Mexican and Italian flavours was too unusual or overpowering, while others loved the spicy kick.
- Ease of prep: Most found this a quick and straightforward cook, though a few noted the number of steps felt like a lot for a weeknight meal.
- Suggestions: Some reviewers recommended adding sour cream or avocado to balance the richness, while one noted that guidance on jalapeño heat could be clearer for those sensitive to spice. A few found the dish a little dry or saucy and suggested adjusting the passata to taste, and one reviewer found microwaving the gnocchi briefly in the packet before pan-frying helped avoid a tough texture.
- Leftovers: At least one reviewer enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day, finding the dish reheated well.
- Portions: Serves were described as generous and filling, though a couple of reviewers noted the calorie count was higher than expected.
