Chicken Parmesan-Style Fusilli Bake
Uses: chicken breast, pretzels, tomato sauce, fusilli, shredded cheddar
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 ounces chicken breast
- 1/4 cup crushed pretzels
- 1 cup gnocchi
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoons shredded cheddar
Instructions:
- Place the pretzels in a bag and crush them into small crumbs. Season the chicken with your favorite spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, or black pepper.
- Press the crushed pretzels onto the chicken to create a light, crunchy coating. Bake, pan-sear, or sauté until the chicken is golden on the outside and fully cooked in the center.
- Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, then place it in a small baking dish or oven-safe bowl with tomato sauce.
- Slice the cooked chicken and place it over the saucy gnocchi. Sprinkle cheddar over the top.
- Warm in the oven, toaster oven, or microwave until the cheese melts and everything is hot.
Good for: A cozy, comfort-food dinner that feels a little like chicken Parmesan, using simple box ingredients.
Optional: Serve with a small lettuce, cucumber, or tomato salad on the side.
