INGREDIENTS
150g Potato Gnocchi
3 oz Chicken Breast
100g Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them onto a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they soften and begin to blister.
While the tomatoes roast, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, fresh basil leaves, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create a creamy pesto sauce. Adjust salt and pepper as desired.
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the creamy basil pesto sauce, then gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes.
Plate the pesto gnocchi and top with the sliced grilled chicken. Garnish with extra basil if desired and serve warm.
