Cooking Steps
ā¢ Preheat oven to 240Ā°C/220Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ In a large baking dish, add gnocchi, diced bacon (breaking up with your hands) and enough olive oil (21/2 tbs for 2 people / 1/3 cup for 4 people) to coat. ā¢ Season and bake until crispy, 10-14 minutes. ā¢ Meanwhile, shred slow-cooked chicken breast.
ā¢ When gnocchi is cooked, add chicken, tomato sugo, garlic & herb seasoning, chicken stock pot, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), the brown sugar and the butter. ā¢ Season with pepper and stir to combine. ā¢ Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese and shaved Parmesan cheese. Bake until golden, 8-10 minutes.
Little cooks: Join in on the fun by sprinkling the Cheddar and the Parmesan over the chicken and gnocchi bake!
ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix, snacking tomatoes (slice if preferred) and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Season and toss to coat. ā¢ Divide gnocchi and salad between bowls. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
