INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast (raw, about 113g)
1 cup Potato Gnocchi (about 125g)
1 tbsp Basil Pesto (about 16g)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (about 75g)
1/4 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (about 5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, place the cherry tomatoes and a few torn basil leaves. Roast for about 10-12 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst, then set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear on medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, indicating they are done. Drain well.
In a large bowl, combine the warm gnocchi with the basil pesto. Gently toss until the gnocchi are evenly coated.
Add the roasted cherry tomatoes and sliced grilled chicken on top of the gnocchi, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, protein-rich meal.
