INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Potato Gnocchi
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1/4 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes with a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they blister and soften.
While the tomatoes roast, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium-high heat (or use a grill pan) for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, allow it to rest briefly and then slice into strips.
In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, non-fat Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, forming a creamy pesto sauce. Adjust thickness with a small drizzle of water if needed.
In a large bowl, gently toss the warm gnocchi with the creamy basil pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto gnocchi, top with the roasted cherry tomatoes, and arrange the grilled chicken slices on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
