Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, peppery arugula pesto with bursting roasted cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 cup baby arugula
0.25 oz walnuts
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pulse the arugula, walnuts, parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, and half of the olive oil in a food processor until a vibrant, coarse pesto forms.
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt and black pepper, then sear in a skillet with the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through.
Boil the gnocchi in a large pot of salted water until they float to the surface, then drain while reserving a small amount of the cooking liquid.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, toss the cherry tomatoes for a few minutes until they are softened and just beginning to burst.
Slice the rested chicken into strips and add it to the skillet along with the gnocchi, the prepared pesto, and a splash of the reserved water.
Toss everything together over low heat until the gnocchi is well-coated and the flavors are beautifully melded before serving.
