INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Sweet Potato
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tablespoon Basil Pesto
1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Rub the chicken breast with olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Meanwhile, bake or steam the sweet potato until soft. Once cooled slightly, peel and mash the flesh to form a smooth puree.
Mix the sweet potato puree with whole wheat flour. Knead lightly until a soft dough forms, then roll into small gnocchi pieces.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and cook the gnocchi until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain well.
For the basil pesto, blend fresh basil leaves, garlic, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Lightly pan-fry the gnocchi in a non-stick skillet for a few minutes until they get a crispy exterior.
Plate the roasted chicken alongside the crispy sweet potato gnocchi and drizzle with the bright basil pesto. Serve immediately.
