Pan-Seared Chicken and Gnocchi with Fresh Basil Pesto and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Savor a delightful medley of pan-seared chicken breast paired with tender potato gnocchi, sweet roasted cherry tomatoes, and a vibrant fresh basil pesto. This dish offers a balanced blend of savory protein and aromatic herbs with a comforting, yet light, finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Potato Gnocchi
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the pan.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely browned.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package directions until they float, then drain.
In the same skillet (or in a separate pan if preferred), add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and blister.
Add the cooked gnocchi and chicken (sliced into strips) back into the pan with the tomatoes. Drizzle in the fresh basil pesto and gently toss to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then plate and garnish with extra fresh basil if desired.
