INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast (raw)
1 cup cooked Potato Gnocchi
1/2 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Pine Nuts
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F for roasting the cherry tomatoes.
Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until they begin to blister.
Meanwhile, prepare the pesto by combining fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, grated Parmesan, pine nuts, and olive oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add to the pan. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the top, then drain.
In a large bowl, toss the warm gnocchi with the prepared pesto until well coated.
Plate the pesto gnocchi, top with the seared chicken slices, and finish with the roasted cherry tomatoes. Serve warm and enjoy!
