Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, peppery arugula pesto with bursting cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Potato gnocchi
1 cup Baby arugula
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Walnuts
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Prepare the pesto by pulsing baby arugula, walnuts, garlic, parmesan, and lemon juice in a food processor until finely chopped.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest.
Cook the gnocchi in a pot of boiling water until they float, then drain, reserving a splash of the cooking water.
Slice the chicken into thin strips and return it to the skillet along with the cherry tomatoes, cooking until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Add the gnocchi and the arugula pesto to the skillet, tossing gently with the reserved water until the sauce is silky and coats every piece.
