Since the New Year, I have been on a One Sheet Pan kick for our dinners. What’s not to like? You can customize to whatever flavors you like, throw all onto a pan, and have dinner ready in 30 minutes without hovering over the stove. Oh, and the best part?!? Clean up is a breeze! Yes, please!!
Plus, that’s what majority of you requested as the next blog post this past week on Facebook.
If you missed my last one sheet pan dinner – One Sheet Pan Pork Chops – you have to check it out. So many friends and family members have messaged me how delicious and easy it was to make.
This particular one I used a bag of frozen gnocchi, but you could easily use the non-frozen package as well. You will notice I drizzled a little homemade pesto on top that I made with all my fresh basil from over the summer. Don’t have jarred/fresh pesto on hand – no worries, it will literally be just as delicious without.
Use whatever veggies you love or have on hand. I used mushrooms, broccoli, peppers, and tomatoes. I absolutely love roasted tomatoes, so you will find I throw as many as I can fit onto the pan.
For the meat – I used boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins. I seasoned with a little seasoned salt and pepper. Don’t have chicken on hand? You could substitute with pork chops!
These one sheet pan meals have helped keep me on track with my WeightWatchers points as well.
Since July, I am down 55#! :)
- A couple tablespoons of Olive Oil
- 1 lb. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Tenderloins
- Frozen bag of Gnocchi - (I used a 25 oz bag, but you could use whatever amount portion wise, you don't have to cook entire bag. You do not have to defrost - place on pan frozen)
- 2 TBSP Pesto mixed with 2 TBSP water (If you do not have pesto or do not care for it, you can easily eliminate)
- 2 cups (or more) fresh veggies (I used cherry tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers)
- Salt / Pepper
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Drizzle 2-3 TBSP olive oil on the bottom of baking sheet.
- Place chicken tenderloins onto pan. Season with salt and pepper. (You can season with whatever spices you have on hand - I've also tried with Lemon Pepper and Cajun seasoning.)
- Spread frozen gnocchi onto baking sheet. Evenly layer so all gnocchi is touching the pan.
- Drizzle gnocchi with pesto (skip this step if you do not care for Pesto)
- Fill remaining space on baking sheet with fresh veggies.
- Drizzle 2-3 more tablespoons olive oil all over chicken, veggies, and gnocchi. Season veggies and gnocchi with salt/pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Easy-peasy! Dinner is done. ENJOY!

You have given me hope for broccoli again! My family wasn’t sure about making the gnocchi this way but I loved having all of the cleanup on one pan. We will definitely put this into rotation once a week varying between chicken and pork chops and whatever vegetables I can find. I added lemon and Aldi’s Everything bagel seasoning today – it was like eating candy. Thanks!!
Thanks so much for sharing and that your family enjoyed! I’ll have to try the everything bagel seasoning sometime, that sounds amazing!
