INGREDIENTS
150g Potato Gnocchi
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Light Basil Pesto
0.5 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
4 Fresh Basil Leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package instructions, until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and press them gently with a spatula to form a flat, crisp surface. Allow them to sear undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy on one side, then flip and crisp the other side.
Lower the heat to medium, add the light basil pesto and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the pesto coats the gnocchi and chicken evenly.
Plate the dish and top with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
