INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Potato Gnocchi
2 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Dried Herbs and Spices
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by marinating the chicken: in a bowl, combine the chicken breast with lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of dried thyme and rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden sear. Remove the chicken and let it rest.
In the same skillet, add the gnocchi. Allow the gnocchi to cook without stirring for a few minutes to develop a crispy, golden crust on one side. Flip them over to crisp on all sides, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Plate the crispy gnocchi and slice the chicken on top or alongside as preferred.
Drizzle the fresh basil pesto over the chicken and gnocchi. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of zesty lemon-herbed chicken, crispy gnocchi, and the burst of fresh basil pesto.
