Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken breast and pillowy gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, peppery arugula pesto with blistered cherry tomatoes for a bright burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
2 cup baby arugula
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tbsp pine nuts
1 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
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 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through, then remove and slice into thin strips.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the baby arugula, pine nuts, garlic, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil, pulsing until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat until they begin to blister and soften.
Add the cooked gnocchi and sliced chicken back into the skillet with the tomatoes.
Pour the arugula pesto over the mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Season with the remaining salt and pepper and serve immediately while hot.
