Creamy Pesto Gnocchi with Toasted Pine Nuts
Pan-seared cauliflower gnocchi and tender chicken breast tossed in a velvety pesto-yogurt sauce, finished with a crunch of golden toasted pine nuts.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.25 cup cauliflower gnocchi
0.5 tbsp basil pesto
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.25 tbsp pine nuts
1 cup baby spinach
0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, then set aside.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side, then slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the cauliflower gnocchi and sauté until the edges are crisp and lightly browned, approximately 8-10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Lower the heat and add the chicken, baby spinach, and pesto-yogurt sauce to the skillet with the gnocchi.
Toss gently for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is warmed through, being careful not to boil the yogurt.
Serve immediately topped with the toasted pine nuts.
