INGREDIENTS
100g Potato Gnocchi
100g Grilled Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Basil Pesto
100g Cherry Tomatoes
1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
10g Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, allow to rest briefly and slice into strips.
In a food processor or blender, combine fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle in the basil pesto and blend until smooth; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they blister and soften slightly. Toss gently to coat with any residual pesto flavor.
In a large bowl, gently toss the warm gnocchi with the remaining basil pesto to ensure even coating.
Plate the pesto-coated gnocchi, top with the blistered tomatoes, and arrange the grilled chicken slices on top. Garnish with additional fresh basil or a light sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
