INGREDIENTS
2.5 oz Chicken Breast (71g)
1 medium Sweet Potato (150g)
1/4 cup Ricotta Cheese (62g)
3 large Egg Whites (~100g)
1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour (40g)
2/3 tbsp Unsalted Butter (10g)
6 Fresh Sage Leaves
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potato a few times with a fork, then roast it on a baking sheet for about 45 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, prepare the gnocchi dough by scooping out the soft roasted sweet potato flesh into a bowl. Add ricotta cheese, egg whites, whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until a smooth, cohesive dough forms.
Lightly flour a clean surface and gently roll the dough into a long log about 1/2 inch in diameter. Cut the log into 1-inch pieces to form your gnocchi. If desired, use a fork to create ridges on each piece.
In a large skillet, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the homemade gnocchi and sauté until they begin to lightly brown and firm up, about 3-4 minutes per side.
In a separate small pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and continue to cook until the butter turns a light brown with a nutty aroma, about 2 minutes.
While the sage butter is finishing, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once done, slice into strips.
Plate the sautéed gnocchi and drizzle the sage brown butter over the top. Arrange the grilled chicken strips on the side or on top of the gnocchi.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of freshly ground pepper and a few additional sage leaves if desired, then serve immediately.
