Ingredients:

• 1 pouch Le Sauce & So.® Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto gourmet pasta sauce
• 1 package (about 16 ounces) potato gnocchi
• 1/2 pound (225g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced

4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the gnocchi and chicken mixture, creating a cheesy layer.
5. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
