Creating this Caprese Chicken Gnocchi Skillet is simple. Follow these easy steps for a delicious, one-pan meal:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Add Gnocchi: While the chicken is cooking, bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
5. Add Gnocchi and Cheese: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with the chicken and tomatoes. Add the fresh mozzarella balls and mix until everything is well combined.
6. Add Basil and Balsamic Reduction: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top and toss gently to combine.
7. Serve Hot: Plate the dish while it’s still warm, ensuring each serving has a good amount of chicken, gnocchi, tomatoes, and mozzarella.
