PREPARATION

  • 1

    Place the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, shaking frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant, then set aside.

  • 2

    Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface, then drain and reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.

  • 3

    While the gnocchi cooks, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt and black pepper.

  • 4

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken, and sear until cooked through and lightly browned.

  • 5

    Add the minced garlic and fresh spinach to the skillet, sautéing for 1 minute until the spinach is just wilted.

  • 6

    In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and Greek yogurt until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.

  • 7

    Reduce the skillet heat to low, add the cooked gnocchi and the pesto-yogurt mixture, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.

  • 8

    If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved gnocchi water one tablespoon at a time until the desired creamy consistency is reached.

  • 9

    Transfer to a plate and garnish with the toasted pine nuts before serving immediately.
