High-Protein Pesto Gnocchi with Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy potato gnocchi tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with juicy blistered tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
2 tbsp basil pesto
1 cup baby spinach
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until the skins begin to blister and soften.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked gnocchi, sliced chicken, baby spinach, and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss all ingredients together for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is slightly wilted and the gnocchi is thoroughly coated in the fragrant pesto.
Finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.
