One reason I love Trader Joe’s is that they make it so easy to put a meal together with their products. With affordable pricing & plethora of cuisine influences, you simply cannot go wrong.
You can prepare this Italian meal so quickly & easily with Trader Joe’s Gnocchi and Pesto Marinated Chicken breasts! In less than 20 minutes, this meal is prepped, cooked, and on the table!
Actually, I hesitate to even call this dish a recipe, because it’s just 4 ingredients. If you are new to cooking, or if you dislike having to think too much about cooking, this meal is for you!
If you can boil water, slice a few tomatoes, and heat a skillet – you got this! Check it out! And FYI – leftovers are delish too!
