Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy potato gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, peppery arugula pesto with bursting, juicy cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 cup baby arugula
0.25 oz walnuts
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked, then set aside to rest before slicing into strips.
In a small food processor, combine the baby arugula, walnuts, parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil; pulse until a coarse pesto forms.
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes until the skins begin to blister and soften.
Drain the gnocchi and add them to the skillet with the tomatoes, then stir in the arugula pesto and sliced chicken.
Toss everything together over low heat for 1 minute to combine the flavors, seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper before serving.
