Grilled Chicken Gorgonzola Gnocchi

The first time I had Gnocchi it was a Chicken Gorgonzola Gnocchi from Per Noi Trattoria the flavor was amazing and the text was awesome. I have since had it at other Italian Restaurants and well I enjoyed it, it was not as good as Per Noi Trattoria. I figured with my knowledge of sauces I could create a recipe of my own. The first try was tasty. The second try added more Gorgonzola and my family was in love. This will be on our meal rotation for sure.
