INGREDIENTS
1 cup Potato Gnocchi (150g)
3 ounces Grilled Chicken Breast (85g)
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Pesto (30g)
4 Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon Walnuts
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
While the gnocchi cooks, prepare the basil pesto. In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, walnuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and grill over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice the chicken into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm gnocchi with the prepared pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Plate the gnocchi and top with the grilled chicken slices. Garnish with extra fresh basil leaves and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, protein-enriched Gnocchi with Fresh Basil Pesto.
