A restaurant-style weeknight dinner in 30 minutes!

Truthfully, I’m not much of a cook. By the end of the day, I rarely have the energy for cooking and end up throwing something together with a mix of frozen and fresh ingredients that I often consider “semi-homemade”. Because of my own laziness, I tend to gravitate toward quick, one-pan meals that also yield leftovers to get me through the week. This 30-minute tomato basil chicken and gnocchi skillet dish is one of my absolute favorites. I serve it alongside warmed bread and a glass of wine. Mixed with shredded rotisserie chicken and fresh spinach, this gnocchi dinner is tasty yet filled with your important food groups.

I’m a pasta lover! I would eat pasta for every single meal if I could, so I try to sneak in vegetables to make my beloved pasta slightly healthier. This is basically how I convince myself to feel less guilty about eating it so much. In this case – and many others – I add spinach for a punch of nutrients that don’t distract from the delicious cheesiness of the dish. Plus, gnocchi is a great alternative to pasta that is equally delicious and filling. In many recipes that you would use pasta or rice, you may be able to substitute gnocchi instead.

Take shortcuts to make dinner easier!

A lot of the flavor comes from the tomato basil pesto, which I use from a jar. Yes, there, I said it! A scoop of tomato pesto adds that delicious basil flavor as well as a little bit of tomato. Alongside the cream, garlic, and parmesan, the tomato flavor is very understated rather than making this dish taste like a version of spaghetti.

This simple one-pan meal takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, but sometimes I cook the chicken in the pan and then set aside before starting the gnocchi, which takes a little extra time. Although using pre-shredded chicken is more convenient, I do love this method because it adds even more flavor to the recipe.

Now I just want to make a ton more gnocchi recipes!
