Creamy Pesto Gnocchi with Toasted Pine Nuts
Pan-seared chicken and tender potato gnocchi tossed in a silky basil pesto sauce, topped with buttery toasted pine nuts for a satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 tbsp basil pesto
1 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp pine nuts
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Place the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, then set aside.
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, then drain and reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the chicken until golden and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and baby spinach to the skillet, stirring until the spinach is just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt with the reserved gnocchi water to create a creamy sauce.
Lower the heat and add the cooked gnocchi and the pesto mixture to the skillet, tossing gently until everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately topped with the toasted pine nuts.
