Creamy Pesto Gnocchi with Toasted Pine Nuts
Pan-seared chicken and tender potato gnocchi tossed in a velvety basil pesto sauce, finished with the crunch of golden toasted pine nuts.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 tbsp basil pesto
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
0.5 tbsp pine nuts
1 cup fresh baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Place a small dry skillet over medium-low heat and add the pine nuts, tossing frequently until they are golden and fragrant.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package directions until they float, then drain and reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooking water.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper; heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until cooked through and lightly browned.
Lower the skillet heat to medium, add the fresh baby spinach, and stir until the leaves are just wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth to create the creamy sauce base.
Add the cooked gnocchi and the creamy pesto mixture to the skillet with the chicken and spinach, tossing gently and adding the reserved pasta water if needed to reach a silky consistency.
Divide the gnocchi into a bowl and garnish with the toasted pine nuts before serving warm.
