Pan-Seared Chicken and Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto
Pan-seared chicken 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
0.75 cup Potato gnocchi
1 cup Baby arugula
0.5 tbsp Walnuts
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the arugula pesto by combining the baby arugula, walnuts, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small food processor; pulse until a coarse, vibrant paste forms.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package directions until they float to the surface, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and slice into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the skins begin to blister and soften.
Return the sliced chicken and cooked gnocchi to the skillet, add the arugula pesto, and toss gently over low heat until everything is well-coated and fragrant.
