Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • In a baking dish, add gnocchi and olive oil (21/2 tbs for 2 people / 1/3 cup for 4 people). Season, toss to coat and bake until crispy, 10-14 minutes. • Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook diced chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• When the gnocchi is cooked, add cooked chicken, crushed & sieved tomatoes, garlic & herb seasoning, vegetable stock powder, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), the brown sugar and butter to the baking dish. Season and stir to combine. • Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese and bake until golden, 8-10 minutes.
• While the gnocchi is baking, thinly slice pear and cucumber. • In a medium bowl, add pear, cucumber, spinach & rocket mix and balsamic & olive oil dressing. Season and toss to coat.
• Divide garlic and herb chicken gnocchi bake between bowls. • Serve with pear salad. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish, praising its delicious taste; some found it too salty or tomato-heavy.
- Ease of prep: Customers loved how quick and easy this meal was to prepare, with several calling it a great "set and forget" option.
- Suggestions: Consider pan-frying the gnocchi for better texture; reduce tomatoes for a thicker sauce and less intense flavour.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers reheated well, making this a good option for lunch the following day.
- Gnocchi texture: Some found the gnocchi undercooked or rubbery when baked; boiling until it floats may improve the texture.
- Salad pairing: While many enjoyed the salad, some felt it didn't complement the rich gnocchi dish well.
