INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 large Egg White
100 g Potato Gnocchi
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Light Cream
4 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Begin by dicing the garlic clove finely and roughly chopping the fresh basil leaves.
Lightly season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until it is no longer pink in the center, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice or cube the chicken.
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the gnocchi. Cook according to the package instructions until they float to the top, then drain.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the basil pesto along with the light cream, stirring to form a smooth, creamy sauce. Toss in the cooked garlic to infuse the sauce with flavor.
Fold the cooked gnocchi and chicken into the pesto cream sauce. Add the egg white and gently mix until the sauce slightly thickens and uniformly coats the ingredients.
Garnish with the chopped fresh basil and serve warm.
