INGREDIENTS
150g Potato Gnocchi
100g Chicken Breast
150g Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (approx. 20g)
50g Low-Fat Greek Yogurt
5g Pine Nuts
5g Parmesan Cheese
5g Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Halve the cherry tomatoes, toss them lightly with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for about 15 minutes until they soften and begin to caramelize.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium-high heat for approximately 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Once cooked, let it rest briefly before slicing into strips.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the surface (about 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
For the creamy basil pesto sauce, combine fresh basil leaves, low-fat Greek yogurt, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and garlic in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked gnocchi with the creamy pesto sauce to coat evenly.
Plate the pesto-coated gnocchi, top with the roasted cherry tomatoes and arrange the grilled chicken strips on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
