Sheet Pan Chicken Scapariello
Think Chicken Scapariello. However, using fluffy gnocchi instead of potatoes makes it easier and crunchier so it absorbs all the flavor. This sheet pan version is loaded with tender chicken thighs, sweet Italian chicken sausage, colorful bell peppers, onions, tangy cherry peppers, and gnocchi baked until golden on the edges.
You can pack all the bold flavors of a classic Italian-American dish into one pan with minimal cleanup. Check out more sheet pan recipes here!

- sausage: If you can’t find chicken, sweet Italian turkey sausage also works.
- vegetable: If you don’t have red, you can use any color of bell pepper or onion.
- potato: Instead of gnocchi, use halved baby potatoes.
- Make it light: If you don’t like it too spicy, I recommend banana peppers. But if you want to make sure there’s no heat at all, use roasted peppers and add a tablespoon or two of red wine vinegar instead of the brine.
