GNOCCHI WITH CHICKEN, PESTO AND FRESH MOZZARELLA



Gnocchi with Chicken, Pesto and Fresh Mozzarella image

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) jar prepared pesto
1 (12 ounce) package potato gnocchi
4 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls

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



Creamy Pesto Chicken and Gnocchi image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 quart chicken broth or 1 quart stock, plus water
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubes
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
3/4 cup basil pesto
1 teaspoon sundried tomato and basil seasoning (like Sbarro) or 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
salt and pepper
1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
grated parmesan cheese, for serving

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.

POTATO GNOCCHI IN PESTO CREAM SAUCE



Potato Gnocchi in Pesto Cream Sauce image

This is a delicious, warm and comforting food! Very filling...quick and easy. If you are wanting to try something new, please give this a try! Of course you can make your own gnocchi and pesto, but in a time pinch... the pre-made stuff works just fine. Pesto from the refridgerated section of the market works much better than a jarred pesto sauce. Fresher is also better. I like to serve this with baked acorn squash. This dish actually reheats pretty well the next day, too!

Provided by Jennibear

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 11m

Yield 3 , 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package gnocchi
1 (8 ounce) package fresh basil pesto (in the refridgerated section of the grocery)
1 cup cream (you can also use half and half or milk)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add lots of salt to the boiling water to help flavor the gnocchi. While the water is heating, get a sauce pan and whisk together the pesto, cream, salt and pepper over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a low boil and be sure to stir frequently. Turn down the heat to a low simmer. Once your water pot is at a full boil, gently add in the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes. The gnocchi will float to the top when they are done. Drain. Add the gnocchi to the pesto cream sauce. Stir to combine. Top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
