INGREDIENTS
90 grams Potato Gnocchi
3 ounces Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Basil (loosely packed)
1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Pine Nuts
1 clove Garlic
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the tomatoes in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until they begin to caramelize.
While the tomatoes roast, prepare the basil pesto by combining fresh basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a pinch of salt to taste.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the potato gnocchi according to package directions or until they float to the top, indicating doneness. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once rested, dice or slice the chicken.
In a large bowl, lightly toss the cooked gnocchi with the prepared pesto. Gently fold in the roasted cherry tomatoes and diced chicken.
Serve immediately, enjoying the pillowy texture of the gnocchi balanced with the fresh, zesty flavor of the basil pesto and the sweet-tart burst of roasted tomatoes.
