Chicken Pesto Gnocchi with Tomatoes and Crispy Breadcrumbs

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 lb gnocchi
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup pesto
• 1/2 cup parmesan
• 1 lb chicken breast
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tsp garlic herb seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and half the garlic herb seasoning.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and toast the breadcrumbs with the rest of the garlic herb seasoning until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
4. Add the gnocchi to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.
5. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, 2 minutes.
6. Return the chicken to the pan, add the pesto, and toss everything together until well coated and heated through.
7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with grated parmesan and the crispy breadcrumbs, then serve immediately.

Notes

Use store-bought pesto and pre-cooked gnocchi for the fastest prep. Leftovers reheat well with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
