Delicious one-pot dinners with minimal prep and washing up make for the perfect mid-week meals.

This simple recipe cuts out the need to pre-boil the pasta. Simply sear the chicken, toss in a pack of store-bought gnocchi, remaining ingredients and bake.

It's ideal for busy weeknights because, in about 30 minutes, you have a one-pot dinner that's packed with flavour.

Ingredients including uncoooked gnocchi and pesto sit together, unmixed, in pot.
This one-pot wonder means you can save on dishes and cook everything in one go: fuss-free!(ABC Everyday: Lina Jebeile)

Tips:

  • For even less prep, use chicken tenderloins instead of breast fillets.
  • Vegetarian? You can make this recipe without the chicken and it's just as delicious.
