Ingredients
- 500 gram gnocchi shelf stable; see note 1
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts chopped into bite-sized peices
- salt & pepper generous
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup fresh basil chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella shredded
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes, until gnocchi is golden brown and slightly crispy. You may need to add additional olive oil if the pan gets too dry (it helps the gnocchi get crispy).
- Remove the gnocchi from the pan and set aside.
- If needed, add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through.
- Return the gnocchi to the pan along with the tomatoes, basil and mozzarella.
- Stir 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted through. Serve immediately.
