Creamy Pesto Gnocchi with Toasted Pine Nuts
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy potato gnocchi tossed in a velvety basil pesto sauce, finished with a sprinkle of golden toasted pine nuts.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
0.75 cup Potato gnocchi
1 tbsp Basil pesto
0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp Pine nuts
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Avocado oil
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until golden and fragrant, then immediately remove from the pan and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then sear in a skillet with avocado oil until cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi until they float to the surface, reserving two tablespoons of the cooking water before draining.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the basil pesto, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Add the warm gnocchi, sliced chicken, and baby spinach to the bowl, tossing gently with the reserved pasta water to create a velvety coating that wilts the spinach.
Garnish the dish with the toasted pine nuts and serve immediately while warm.
