Gnocchi with Basil Pesto and Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy potato gnocchi tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with wilted spinach and a bright squeeze of lemon.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.5 cup Potato gnocchi
1 tbsp Basil pesto
1 cup Baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
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 to the surface, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin, bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and baby spinach, sautéing for about 1 minute until the spinach is just wilted.
Return the cooked gnocchi and sliced chicken to the skillet, then add the basil pesto and lemon juice.
Toss everything gently together for 1 to 2 minutes until the gnocchi and chicken are thoroughly coated and the dish is heated through.
