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