Chicken Gnocchi Skillet
Homey Chicken and Gnocchi Recipe that cooks up in minutes in your favorite skillet! Our Chicken Gnocchi Skillet is loaded with veggies and tastes like home.
Just a couple weeks ago I went up to Pittsburgh to visit some of my favorite people, my friends at DeLallo Foods.
We spent an evening exploring the Andy Warhol Museum, dining at Butcher and the Rye, and watching the Pirates – Red Sox game from box seats. I love Pittsburgh… Go Bucs!
Then we spent time with the DeLallo family, learning why their business is so unique, and of course sampling their amazing products.
Truly, I have yet to find a DeLallo product I don’t like… and that is really saying something.
After exploring the DeLallo store in Jeannette, Pennsylvania we settled into cooking mode, making the most ridiculously rich and buttery stuffed pasta you will ever taste.
I’m going to have to try replicating this at home… I’ll get back to you with a recipe.
#DeLalloVIPs making homemade mushroom ravioli.
I came home inspired to make lots and lots of pasta dishes, starting with my favorite pasta for fall DeLallo Potato Gnocchi.
Today’s easy Chicken Gnocchi Skillet is a cozy dinner you can make in minutes with all the best flavors of home: fresh chicken breast, pillowy potato gnocchi, carrots, onions, sweet red Italian peppers, garlic… and a little cheese.
I used DeLallo’s classic potato gnocchi, but you could use their whole wheat gnocchi, or even their gluten free gnocchi.
I started this comforting Chicken Gnocchi Skillet by boiling the gnocchi, and sautéing chicken and veggies in a large skillet.
Once the gnocchi rises to the top of the water, scoop it into the skillet and finish the dish with sweet peas, a little parsley, and cheese.
This Chicken Gnocchi Skillet is so easy, and oh so delicious. Who could resist?
Why would they even try?
My family enjoyed this Chicken Gnocchi Skillet with a big green salad, topped with DeLallo SaladSavors.
And of course they asked for seconds.

I have not cooked Gnocci at home but I will now. Your recipe looks delishious!
I’ve never made gnocchi and only recently had it for the first time. My brother made it and whatever he did to it was fab so I’d probably ask him for his recipe.
I’ve only made gnocchi once and I swerved it with caramelized red onions and squash.
Such a fun trip!!! Cheers to DeLallo!
Love an easy skillet dish for weeknights! Gnocchi is one of my favs!
Love it with bacon & onions with a sprinkling of Parmesan!!
I love gnocchi with brown butter and a little bit of sage! Serious comfort food!
How fun to go to the DeLallo headquarters!! I love Pittsburgh – such a cool town. Also love the long red peppers in this dish!

I have never made gnocchi nor cooked it at home. This would be a great opportunity to try
Never had gnocchi – but I’m thinking anything is good with ham and alfredo sauce. :-)
Yum! I love gnocchi! What a fabulous giveaway!
I embarrassed to say that I have actually never tried to make gnocchi. BUT I did have some amazing gnocchi when I went to Germany over the summer. It was made with sun-dried tomatoes, olives, artichokes, and an amazing lemon butter sauce. I’d love to re-create that dish at home!
Looks like a fabulous trip, Sommer. Yummy recipe and awesome giveaway! I love gnocchi, esp. DeLallo’s!
I go to Olive Garden for my gnocchi. Don’t know how to cook it.
some butter and bacon then add touch of cream for great gnocchi
I have never made gnocchi at home. This recipe is one that my family would love, so I’ll definitely have to make it soon!
Butter and sage and a few grinds of black pepper!
