INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Potato Gnocchi
1/4 cup Fresh Spinach Pesto
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper and a light drizzle of olive oil.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the exterior is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, cook the potato gnocchi in boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes until they float, then drain.
For the fresh spinach pesto, blend fresh spinach, basil, a small clove of garlic, and just enough olive oil to achieve a smooth consistency. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked gnocchi with the pesto, ensuring they are well-coated.
Prepare the mixed roasted vegetables by tossing chopped zucchini and bell pepper with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of olive oil. Roast them in the oven for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Plate the dish by layering the pesto-gnocchi mix, add sliced crispy chicken breast on top, and serve with a side of roasted vegetables.
Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves if desired and enjoy your balanced, nutritious meal.
