I wouldn't say crispy the way it gets in the skillet, but it does get a nice chewier texture (not soft like boiled gnocchi). You can also broil the gnocchi for a few minutes before serving which does give it a little crispiness (make sure to remove the chicken & veggies so they don't end up overcooked). If you plan to broil your gnocchi, keep it separate from the chicken, brussels sprouts, and broccoli so you can easily remove those ingredients before broiling.
