INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 large Egg
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by tenderizing the chicken breast with a light seasoning of salt and pepper. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with the olive oil.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and pan-sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden-brown. Remove from heat and let rest.
While the chicken cooks, combine the ricotta cheese, flour, and egg in a bowl. Mix until you obtain a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and gently roll the ricotta dough into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Using a knife, cut the rope into small, pillowy pieces (gnocchi).
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a simmer. Carefully drop the gnocchi into the water and cook until they float to the top, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove them using a slotted spoon.
On a serving plate, arrange the fresh spinach as a base. Top with the cooked gnocchi and sliced pan-seared chicken breast.
Finish with an extra light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting blend of textures and flavors.
