INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower Gnocchi
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Pesto
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the cauliflower gnocchi. Spread them out in a single layer and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become crispy and lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fresh basil pesto, gently tossing the gnocchi to coat evenly.
Slice the rested chicken breast and serve it alongside or atop the crispy pesto gnocchi.
Finish with an optional sprinkle of extra fresh basil, and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if needed.
