Enjoy this wholesome dish featuring tender, seasoned chicken breast paired with light cauliflower gnocchi. The vibrant homemade pesto adds a burst of herbaceous flavor, while perfectly roasted asparagus brings a touch of crunch, making this meal both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup Cauliflower Gnocchi (~100g)
1 tbsp Vibrant Pesto
6 spears Asparagus (~100g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In another pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower gnocchi over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are heated through and start to develop a slight golden color.
Warm the pesto slightly in a small pan or microwave if desired, then drizzle it over the sautéed gnocchi.
Slice the cooked chicken breast and serve alongside the gnocchi tossed in vibrant pesto and the roasted asparagus.
Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and adjust seasonings to taste before serving.
