Gnocchi with Arugula Pesto
Pan-seared chicken breast and pillowy potato gnocchi tossed in a vibrant, peppery arugula pesto for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 cup baby arugula
1 tbsp walnuts
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp avocado oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package directions until they float, then drain and set aside.
While the gnocchi cooks, combine the baby arugula, walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and half of the sea salt and black pepper in a small food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a slightly textured pesto, adding a teaspoon of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Season the chicken breast with the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet or a large bowl, toss the cooked gnocchi and sliced chicken with the arugula pesto until everything is evenly coated and warmed through.
