Cooking With Meg And Jay

We have one week left in our apartment in Normal. Well, we sort of have two and a half, but we begin moving into our new place in Chillicothe next week. When we went grocery shopping, we kept that in mind and really planned out what we'd be eating for a week. We have a ton of frozen chicken from Meijer so that means we have a world of options open to us.

Long story short: I saw a package of potato gnocchi in Target and bought it along with some basil pesto sauce and planned on combining it with some chicken.

We didn't measure anything when we made it, so this recipe is incredibly vague. I'm a teacher, not a chef.

1 package of Archer Farms potato gnocchi
1 jar of Archer Farms basil pesto sauce
2-ish chicken breasts
Grated parmesan cheese
Milk

1) Cook the chicken according to package directions
2) When the chicken has about 15 minutes left, cook the gnocchi according to package directions
3) In a lightly greased skillet, over medium heat, add the chicken and about half the jar of basil pesto sauce; stir
4) Once chicken is coated with the sauce, add the gnocchi and the rest of the jar of sauce; stir
5) Add about 1/4 cup of milk to thin out the mixture a little bit (we probably didn't need this, but it was still good)
6) Add parmesan cheese to taste (also makes a great topping for individual servings)

And that's it!

We also enjoyed some Market Pantry french bread and an attempt at Biaggi's bread-sauce stuff:
Olive Oil
Butter
Parmesan cheese
Parsley

Goes great with Moscato!
