High-Protein Basil Pesto Gnocchi with Seared Chicken
Tender pan-seared chicken and pillowy potato gnocchi are tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with juicy blistered cherry tomatoes for a fresh, aromatic finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1.5 tbsp basil pesto
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
While the chicken cooks, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, then drain immediately.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 2 minutes until the skins begin to blister and soften.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked gnocchi, baby spinach, and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss everything together gently until the spinach is wilted and the gnocchi is well-coated in the pesto sauce.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors and serve immediately.
