Instructions
Put a skillet on at medium high and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Using a dishwasher safe cutting board cut up the chicken breast or tenders into about 1" chunks. Add them to the skillet and stir them around a little. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried basil.
Stir the chicken around a few times as it cooks. While it is cooking rinse the string beans, trim off the stumpy ends and cut them in halves or thirds. Chop up the onion.
Add the veggies, the gnocchi and the tomatoes to the skillet.Mix it all together. Bring it up to a fast simmer and lower the heat just enough to maintain the simmer. Light up the broiler. Stir everything in the skillet a few more times as it all cooks. When the pasta - gnocchi - has softened to the nibble test top it all off with a layer of shredded mozzarella then a layer of grated parmesan. Some dried parsley and even some red pepper flakes if want.
Put the skillet under the broiler until the cheese has cooked to the point that YOU want it.
Then serve up your One Skillet Chicken Dinner.
Notes
You can use any kind of pasta instead of gnocchi. Gnocchi cooks in like 2-3 minutes and pasta in 8-10 minutes.
