CREAMY PESTO GNOCCHI & CHICKEN
This is a shortcut version of a dish my grandma made from scratch. It is super yummy either way. I have added chicken to her recipe to make it a main dish rather than a side.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare gnocchi per package instructions. Melt 2 tbs butter in a medium saute pan over medium high heat. Add gnocchi with a little salt and pepper. Saute just enough to give a little caramel color to some of the gnocchi. Just a few spots. Don't overcook. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 2. Rub chicken with dry Italian dressing mix. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large saute pan. Saute chicken until it's nice and colored on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Remove from pan. Cut into bite size pieces.
- 3. Add butter to pan and scrape up bits stuck to pan. Add chicken broth and wine and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer and cook about 5 minutes. Stir in pesto. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Return chicken to pan, fold in gnocchi and heat to serving temperature. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
- 4. My grandmother made her own gnocchi and pesto which was wonderful. I make this from scratch a lot but wanted to also have a quick and easy version for those days I don't have much time or don't feel like destroying my kitchen, lol.
GNOCCHI WITH CHICKEN, PESTO AND FRESH MOZZARELLA
Quick recipe that can be made with prepared gnocchi and pesto, plus chicken breast and fresh mozzarella. Very easy; so easy, I'm sure it borders on a non-recipe. You're really just combining ingredients. You can also experiment with adding other ingredients, like mushrooms or veggies. Anything that needs to be cooked can probably be added at the chicken stage. I did not add any onions or garlic, because the pesto I used already had both, but if your pesto does not, you can add those with the oil as well.

Steps:
- 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, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining drippings in the pan.
- Pour chicken broth into the saucepan. Bring broth to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon; continue cooking until the broth reduces in volume by about half, 7 to 10 minutes. Return cooked chicken to the saucepan. Stir pesto through the chicken mixture; remove from heat.
- 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 to a large bowl using a slotted spoon, retaining water in the pot.
- Place the saucepan with the chicken and pesto over the boiling water; cook and stir over the boiling water until warmed completely, about 5 minutes. Pour chicken and pesto mixture over the gnocchi; add mozzarella and stir until evenly mixed.

CREAMY PESTO CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI
This came to me one night when I was craving gnocchi. I let it bounce around in my head for a couple of weeks before I made it. My husband swears it was definitely worth the wait. The sauce is creamy and smooth, coating the chicken and gnocchi with a wonderful pesto flavor without the oiliness of straight pesto. Try it with garlic bread or multi-grain bread and butter.

Steps:
- Put a pot on the stove with the chicken broth in it and heat to boiling.
- Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, saute the onion in the oil on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and saute for a minute more until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and saute until lightly brown and most of their liquid is evaporated; push to the side of the pan. Add the chicken and saute, stirring often, until just cooked through. Add the soup, the pesto, and the seasonings to the pan and stir to combine everything thoroughly. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the gnocchi are ready.
- When the broth reaches a boil, carefully add the gnocchi and stir to separate. Add extra water if needed to give the gnocchi plenty of liquid. Cook until the gnocchi are done and float to the surface. Using a spider strainer, transfer the gnocchi to the saute pan. Stir gently to coat the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the cooking broth and stir to combine. Serve in pasta bowls with grated parmesan and bread.
