Creamy Basil Pesto Chicken Gnocchi
Savor this satisfying dish featuring tender chicken breast, pillowy potato gnocchi, and a luxuriously creamy basil pesto sauce. The combination of lightly seared chicken with the rich, aromatic sauce delivers a comforting meal that is both nutritious and flavour-packed.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Potato Gnocchi
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1/4 cup Light Cream Cheese
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
In a non-stick skillet, sear the chicken breast over medium heat until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the potato gnocchi. Cook until the gnocchi rise to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Add the cooked gnocchi back in along with the basil pesto and light cream cheese.
Gently stir the mixture until the cream cheese is melted and the pesto is evenly combined, creating a creamy sauce that coats the gnocchi.
Fold in the sliced chicken breast, ensuring the flavors meld together. Cook for an additional minute to warm through.
Serve immediately, garnished with a few fresh basil leaves if desired.
