Gnocchi with Basil Pesto and Seared Chicken
Pan-seared chicken breast and pillowy potato gnocchi tossed in a vibrant basil pesto with juicy blistered cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
0.25 cup Potato gnocchi
0.75 tbsp Basil pesto
0.5 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 cup Baby spinach
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, then drain immediately.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes before slicing into bite-sized strips.
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until the skins begin to blister.
Add the cooked gnocchi, sliced chicken, baby spinach, and basil pesto to the skillet.
Toss everything together over low heat for 1 minute until the spinach is wilted and the gnocchi is well coated.
Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.
