INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Potato Gnocchi
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
0.125 cup Almond Flour
1 large Egg White
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy. In another plate, spread the almond flour.
Dip the chicken breast in the egg white, ensuring an even coat, then lightly dredge in the almond flour.
Place the coated chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes until cooked through and lightly crispy.
While the chicken bakes, bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top, then drain.
In a mixing bowl, toss the warm gnocchi with the fresh basil pesto until evenly coated.
Plate the pesto gnocchi and slice the crispy chicken breast. Arrange the chicken on top of the gnocchi, and garnish with extra fresh basil if desired before serving.
