INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
100 g Potato Gnocchi
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
100 g Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil.
Sear the chicken breast until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side, then set aside and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and toss in the potato gnocchi. Let them sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until crispy on the bottom, then gently stir to crisp the other sides.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and roast them with the gnocchi for an additional 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fresh basil pesto, coating the gnocchi and tomatoes evenly.
Plate the crispy gnocchi and roasted tomatoes, and top with the seared chicken breast strips.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of textures and flavors.
