04 - Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Bake for 20 minutes.

# Notes:

01 - This easy dish can be made in under 30 minutes! Soft potato gnocchi and chicken paired with rich, creamy Alfredo sauce.
02 - Use rotisserie chicken and shred it 1-2 days ahead for quick meal prep.
03 - Save time with jarred Alfredo sauce, or make homemade if you prefer.
04 - Change up the veggies - try peas, asparagus, spinach, or peppers instead of broccoli.
05 - Shred your own cheese from blocks for better melting results than pre-shredded cheese.
