INGREDIENTS
100g Chicken Breast
150g Whole Wheat Gnocchi
20g Fresh Basil
5g Pine Nuts
3g Garlic
0.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
5g Parmesan Cheese
50g Cherry Tomatoes
PREPARATION
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, slice it into bite-size pieces.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat gnocchi according to package instructions until they float. Drain and set aside.
To make the basil pesto, combine fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and Parmesan cheese in a food processor. Blend until a smooth sauce forms. Adjust seasoning to taste.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the warm gnocchi with the prepared pesto sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the grilled chicken pieces and halved cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
