INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
200g Potato Gnocchi
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Basil
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the cherry tomatoes in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until they soften and begin to blister.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and grill or pan-sear it over medium heat until cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Once done, slice into strips.
Meanwhile, cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, then drain.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth, adding a small drizzle of olive oil if needed to reach a creamy consistency. Season the pesto with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the creamy pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto gnocchi, top with the roasted cherry tomatoes, and garnish with sliced grilled chicken breast.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced combination of flavors and textures.
