Savor a delightful fusion of tender, pan-seared gnocchi and succulent chicken breast, all brought together by a bright, aromatic basil pesto. This dish offers a perfect balance of crispy textures and vibrant, herby freshness, making it an ideal meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Potato Gnocchi
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to the package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain well.
While the gnocchi is cooking, prepare the vibrant basil pesto. In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the drained gnocchi to the same skillet (drizzle a little extra olive oil if needed) and sear them over medium-high heat. Allow them to crisp up on each side for about 2-3 minutes.
Toss the crispy gnocchi with the prepared basil pesto. Plate the gnocchi and top with sliced chicken breast.
Garnish with an extra drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Enjoy your balanced and delicious meal!
