Mushroom medley gnocchi (638 calories per serve)

One-Pot Chicken Maryland (410 calories per serve)
I had some guests over for dinner and I wanted something that was easy to make and can cook relatively unattended while I clean up the rest of the house. I also wanted something that had wine in it because I would probably be the only one drinking and I didn’t want to drink an…
