INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Cauliflower Gnocchi
1 cup Fresh Basil (loosely packed)
2 tablespoons Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly toss the cauliflower gnocchi with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until edges turn crispy.
While the gnocchi roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare the fresh basil pesto by placing the fresh basil, garlic clove, nonfat Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and a teaspoon of olive oil in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of lemon juice, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Combine the roasted gnocchi and sliced chicken on a plate and drizzle generously with the fresh basil pesto. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp texture of the roasted gnocchi paired with tender chicken and vibrant, creamy pesto.
