Healthy Crispy Gnocchi with Chicken and Fresh Pesto
A vibrant dish featuring golden, pan-crisped potato gnocchi paired with tender, seasoned chicken breast and tossed in a fresh, homemade basil pesto. This well-balanced meal delights with a medley of textures and flavors, providing a nutritious twist on a classic Italian favorite.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Potato Gnocchi
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chicken breast until golden and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to package instructions in lightly salted water until they float to the top, then drain.
Increase the heat in the skillet and add the cooked gnocchi. Pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes until they become crispy and golden on the edges.
Slice the rested chicken breast and add it back into the skillet along with the cherry tomatoes. Drizzle over the fresh basil pesto and gently toss to combine.
Heat through for another minute, then serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
