Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your broiler and bringing a pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi.
2
In a nonstick skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add the chopped leeks and shredded carrots, sautéing them while stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until the leeks are tender and fragrant.
3
Once your water is boiling, add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 2 minutes). Watch carefully as they cook quickly and will float to the top when done.
4
As the gnocchi cooks, add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the skillet with the sautéed leeks and carrots, stirring to combine and heat through.
5
Add the can of condensed mushroom soup to the skillet along with the garlic powder and dried parsley. Stir well until everything is fully combined and heated through.
6
Drain the gnocchi and gently fold it into the skillet mixture, ensuring each piece is coated in the sauce.
7
Transfer the mixture to a greased ovenproof casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
8
Sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese generously over the top.
9
Place the casserole under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
10
Once bubbly and golden, remove from the oven. Let it cool slightly before serving. Pair with a fresh salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
