INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1 cup Sweet Potato Gnocchi (150g)
½ cup Fresh Basil Leaves (15g)
2 Garlic cloves
2 tbsp Pine Nuts (18g total)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (13.5g)
½ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Black Pepper
¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
On a large sheet pan, arrange the chicken breast and sweet potato gnocchi in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over both the chicken and gnocchi. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the gnocchi begins to crisp up on the edges.
While the chicken and gnocchi are roasting, combine the fresh basil leaves, garlic, pine nuts, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a small amount of extra olive oil to help emulsify if needed, creating your fresh basil pesto.
Once the chicken and gnocchi are finished roasting, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle the basil pesto evenly over the chicken and gnocchi.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious flavors and textures of this vibrant dish.
