  6. Once the water is boiling, add 1 pound of gnocchi and cook according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain well.
  7. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Gently stir to coat.
  8. Transfer the gnocchi mixture to an oven-safe baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
