Crispy Pan-Seared Gnocchi with Fresh Pesto
Savor this vibrant dish featuring golden, pan-seared potato gnocchi tossed in a fresh, homemade basil pesto and topped with perfectly grilled chicken breast. Each bite bursts with a delightful crunch and herbaceous aroma, complemented by the creamy richness of parmesan and the nutty essence of pine nuts.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Potato Gnocchi (150g)
1 cup Fresh Basil (21g)
1 tbsp Pine Nuts (9g)
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (4.5g) for pesto
1 clove Garlic
3 oz Chicken Breast (85g)
1 tsp Extra Olive Oil (4.5g) for searing
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth to create a fresh pesto sauce.
Pat the chicken breast dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, and grill or pan-sear over medium heat until fully cooked and golden, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Heat 1 teaspoon of extra olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sear until crispy and golden on the edges, about 3-4 minutes.
Toss the crispy gnocchi with the fresh pesto, then plate and top with the grilled chicken slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy the combination of crispy textures and fresh, herbaceous flavors.
