High-Protein Pesto Gnocchi with Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken and pillowy gnocchi tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with juicy blistered tomatoes and fresh spinach.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
0.5 cup potato gnocchi
1 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
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove and slice into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken cooks, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then drain.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to blister and soften.
Add the baby spinach, cooked gnocchi, sliced chicken, and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss everything together with the lemon juice for 1 minute until the spinach is wilted and the gnocchi is well-coated in the sauce.
