Had to substitute for pasta as no gnocchi, and used red pesto instead. Husband said the chicken was the best he’d ever had!!!

We made this in the oven as it’s not a big one. We baked the gnocchi separately to make it nice and crispy then stirred it through just before the mozzarella with a bit of cream cheese.
