Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared gnocchi tossed in a peppery arugula pesto with juicy roasted cherry tomatoes and lean chicken breast for a vibrant and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.75 cup potato gnocchi
1 cup baby arugula
0.5 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
In a small food processor, combine the baby arugula, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and half of the parmesan cheese, pulsing until a smooth pesto forms.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi until they float to the surface, then drain immediately.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly sear the cooked gnocchi for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
Add the pre-cooked sliced chicken breast and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften and the chicken is heated through.
Turn off the heat and stir in the prepared arugula pesto, tossing well to ensure every gnocchi and chicken piece is thoroughly coated.
Transfer to a bowl and garnish with the remaining parmesan cheese, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper before serving hot.
