Instructions and steps:

Step 1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Remove chicken meat from the carcass. Discard skin and bones. Roughly chop 400g of chicken meat. Use remaining chicken meat for sandwiches.

Step 2 Combine chicken, gnocchi, tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons water and basil in a large bowl. Spoon into a large ovenproof dish. Sprinkle cheese over gnocchi mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is golden and the bake is heated through. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve.
