Prepare the Chicken

1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
3. Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has cooled slightly, slice it into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.

Cook the Gnocchi

1. Boil the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions, usually for 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

Make the Pesto Sauce

1. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan. Pulse until everything is finely chopped.
2. Add Olive Oil: With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine Everything

1. Toss the Gnocchi and Chicken: In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cooked gnocchi and chicken. Pour the pesto sauce over the top and toss to coat everything evenly.
2. Warm Through: Stir everything together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the pesto to warm up.
