Ingredients

16 ounces Potato Gnocchi
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 pound Chicken Breast, boneless, cut in bite size pieces
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 cup Grape Tomatoes
3 tablespoons Pesto, jarred
1 cup Chicken Broth
Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste

Directions

Cook the gnocchi in a large pot of water according to package directions. (After the water boils, they usually cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.) Cook until a la dente and keep warm.
While the gnocchi is cooking, heat the oil on medium heat in a large frying pan. Sprinkle chicken with garlic powder and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken starts to brown. Add tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
When tomatoes start to wilt, add pesto sauce and chicken broth to the pan. Mix well and cook on low for a few minutes until the chicken comes to a simmer.
Add cooked gnocchi to the pan and cook for a few more minutes or until sauce starts to thicken.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

One package of potato gnocchi is typically comprised of 16 ounces.
