Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Toss the gnocchi, corn, tomatoes, and onions with olive oil, lime, chili powder, and salt, then spread them into one layer on the sheet pan.

Scoot some of the gnocchi and veggies aside to make 2 separate spaces in the middle of the sheet pan in which to place the chicken breasts.

Place the chicken breasts into the gaps you made, then season each with olive oil, chili powder, and salt.

Bake for 20 minutes, then toss the veggies and gnocchi to make sure they’re evenly cooking.

Check the doneness of the chicken with an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each breast. The chicken breasts should register 155°F to 160°F if they’re done (they’ll continue to cook once removed from the oven). If the chicken is done, remove it from the oven, place it on a plate, and cover it with foil to keep warm. If it’s not done cooking, leave it on the tray with the veggies and gnocchi.

Bake the gnocchi and veggies (and chicken if it’s not done) for another 10 minutes.

Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Slice the chicken into pieces, then place it back on the sheet pan.

Top the chicken, gnocchi, and veggies with cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Gnocchi Golden Perfection 🥔
Pat gnocchi dry before roasting to ensure a crispy exterior and prevent steaming. A light coating of olive oil will help achieve that perfect golden-brown crunch.
Sheet Pan Strategic Placement 🍽️
Arrange chicken and vegetables with space between them to allow proper caramelization and prevent overcrowding. This ensures even cooking and helps develop deeper flavor profiles.
Corn Kernel Magic 🌽
Use fresh or quick-thawed corn kernels and char them slightly for a smoky sweetness that elevates the entire dish. Spreading kernels in a single layer maximizes their caramelization potential.
Citrus Brightness Hack 🍋
Add lime juice after roasting to preserve its fresh, bright flavor and prevent it from becoming bitter. The acid will help cut through the richness of the chicken and cheese.
Cotija Cheese Pro Tip 🧀
Crumble cotija cheese over the dish immediately after removing from the oven so it slightly melts but retains its signature crumbly texture. This helps distribute flavor more evenly.
