INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
3/4 cup Potato Gnocchi (roasted)
1 cup Green Beans
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the gnocchi lightly with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until they develop golden, crispy edges.
While the gnocchi roasts, trim the ends of the green beans and blanch them in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and pat dry, then sauté in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until they are crisp-tender and slightly charred.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of chopped fresh basil. Grill the chicken breast over medium heat (or pan-sear in a lightly oiled skillet) for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
In a small bowl, gently mix the fresh basil, garlic, and the basil pesto to enhance the green, aromatic flavor. Adjust seasoning with salt & pepper if needed.
To assemble the dish, combine the roasted gnocchi and crispy green beans in a serving bowl. Drizzle with the prepared fresh basil pesto mixture, then top with the sliced grilled chicken breast and a light sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the medley of herby flavors and textures.
