Creamy Pesto Chicken Gnocchi Bake
Sautéed chicken and pillowy gnocchi are baked in a vibrant, creamy pesto sauce until the cheese is perfectly golden and bubbling.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 tbsp basil pesto
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 cup fresh baby spinach
0.5 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil, add the potato gnocchi, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface; drain well.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the basil pesto and plain Greek yogurt until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
Fold the cooked gnocchi, seared chicken, and fresh baby spinach into the pesto mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
