• To a large bowl, add the alfredo sauce, sour cream, ricotta cheese, chicken breast, parmesan cheese, parsley and gnocchi. Fold the ingredients together until combined.
• Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle fontina and mozzarella cheese on top.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese is melty and bubbly.
• Remove from heat. Sprinkle bacon, parsley and shaved parmesan on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
