INGREDIENTS
150 grams Potato Gnocchi
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves (packed)
1/2 cup Fresh Parsley Leaves (packed)
1 Garlic Clove
1 tbsp Olive Oil Extra Virgin
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions until they float, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add half of the olive oil and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Slice the chicken into strips and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and lightly toast the cooked gnocchi until they develop a crispy edge, stirring occasionally.
While the gnocchi is searing, prepare the herb pesto by combining fresh basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan in a small bowl. Mix well to blend the flavors.
Toss the seared gnocchi with the herb pesto, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the gnocchi and top with the sliced chicken breast, drizzling any remaining pesto over the top. Serve immediately.
