Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, peppery arugula pesto with blistered cherry tomatoes for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup potato gnocchi
2 cup baby arugula
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 tbsp walnuts
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
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 heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, then set aside to rest and slice into strips.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, then drain immediately.
In a food processor, pulse 1.5 cups of the baby arugula, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, grated parmesan, and olive oil until a coarse pesto forms.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes until they begin to blister and soften.
Add the cooked gnocchi and sliced chicken back to the skillet, tossing with the prepared arugula pesto and the remaining fresh arugula until well coated.
Season with the remaining sea salt and black pepper before serving warm.
