INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
    • 1 (12 ounce) package potato gnocchi
    • 4 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls

  • Seasoning and Sauces

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • Ground black pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons chicken broth
    • 1 (8 ounce) jar prepared pesto

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper; cook and stir in the hot oil until no longer pink in the middle, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining drippings in the pan.

2

Pour chicken broth into the saucepan. Bring broth to a boil while scraping the browned bits off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; continue cooking until the broth reduces in volume by about half, about 7 to 10 minutes. Return cooked chicken to the saucepan and stir pesto through the chicken mixture; remove from heat.

3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook gnocchi at a boil until they float to the top, about 3 minutes. Remove gnocchi from the water into a large bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining water in the pot.

4

Place the saucepan with the chicken and pesto mixture over the boiling water; cook and stir until warmed completely, about 5 minutes. Pour chicken and pesto mixture over the gnocchi; add mozzarella and stir until evenly mixed.

💡 If your pesto does not contain garlic or onions, you can sauté some beforehand in the olive oil.Experiment by adding other ingredients such as sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted vegetables along with the chicken.Make sure to not overcook the gnocchi. Once they float, they are ready.
