Chicken wrapped in prosciutto, cooked with fluffy gnocchi in a herby tomato sauce. An incredibly tasty meal!
One Pot Chicken and Gnocchi is my favourite type of meal - super tasty, filling and all made in one pot! For this recipe I used store-bought gnocchi but if you have the time, why not try my homemade Ricotta Gnocchi recipe? Or for another creamy one pot, have a look at our One Pot Creamy Chicken Orzo.
This is a great meal to make if you have friends or family coming over for a meal. Super impressive, tasty and ready in only 30 minutes.
How to make One Pot Chicken and Gnocchi:
Slice the two chicken breasts in half horizontally so that you have four thin pieces. Wrap each piece with prosciutto. Add olive oil to a large pan and bring to a medium heat. Add prosciutto-wrapped chicken and brown for a few minutes on each side.
Add in the garlic then gnocchi, cooking with the chicken. Mix Italian herbs and brown sugar with the stock, then pour into the pan. Pour in crushed tomatoes. Carefully mix everything together and simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken and gnocchi are cooked through.
Slice mozzarella into pieces and lay on top of gnocchi. Once mozzarella has melted, sprinkle over basil and serve with a fresh salad and crusty garlic bread.

Made this last night but unfortunately chicken became a bit dry (although that’s how my husband likes chicken thankfully!). Used 500g packet of chicken breasts but they were a lot larger than the ones in your video… so 80g prosciutto wasn’t nearly enough to wrap, so might double prosciutto next time. Also, are you meant to drain the can of crushed tomatoes first? Different brands might have slightly watery contents. Ours was watery! Flavours were good overall.

Hello I made this last night, wasn’t sure what to make for dinner, found Thai recipe and I just happened to have most of the ingredients. It was awesome, adults and picky child ate it. So simple to cook too! Only one pan to clean at the end. This will become a regular dish. Thanks ☺️
