Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400. Meanwhile... In a cast iron pan, heat olive oil on medium heat. Add butter, and melt.
Step 2
Add onion, and cook until onion begins to turn translucent. 2-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add thyme, and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add cream cheese, and ricotta. Stir to melt.
Step 5
Add hot sauce, and honey. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Turn off heat, add chicken (should already be cooked- I just boil them ahead of time), and the bottom half of chopped green onions.
Step 7
Add half of the shredded cheddar, uncooked gnocchi, and chicken broth. Toss to combine.
Step 8
Top with remaining cheddar cheese. Cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Uncover, and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is golden and lightly crispy.
