Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, juiced
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 5 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
• 5 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
• 2 large heads broccoli, cut into florets
• 2 small red onions, cut into wedges
• 3 tablespoons salted peanuts, roughly chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Put the chicken into a large bowl. Add peanut butter, curry paste, honey, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and mix well with your hands.

Step 4

Combine broccoli, red onion, and remaining olive oil in a separate bowl. Mix well to coat. Place chicken in a roasting dish and add broccoli mixture and cooked gnocchi.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve topped with cilantro, peanuts, and lime juice.
