Description

This peanut chicken with gnocchi recipe is a flavorful chicken curry baked with gnocchi, broccoli, and onions, and sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro.

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
5 tablespoons peanut butter
5 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large heads broccoli, cut into florets
2 small red onions, cut into wedges
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons salted peanuts, roughly chopped
1 lime, juiced

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3 Toss chicken, peanut butter, curry paste, 3 tablespoons olive oil, honey, and salt together in a large bowl using your hands.
4 Combine broccoli, red onion, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate bowl until well coated. Place chicken in a roasting dish; add broccoli mixture and gnocchi.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in centers and juices run clear, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top servings with cilantro, peanuts, and lime juice.
