INGREDIENTS
100g Potato Gnocchi
1/2 cup Fresh Basil
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Pine Nuts
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp Lemon Juice
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables
3 oz Grilled Chicken Breast
PREPARATION
Prepare the vibrant basil pesto by blending fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the potato gnocchi. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then drain.
While the gnocchi cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F and roast the mixed vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until tender and slightly charred, around 15-20 minutes.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, lightly pan-sear the cooked gnocchi in a small amount of olive oil until they develop a crispy, golden exterior.
Slice the pre-grilled chicken breast into strips if not already done.
Toss the pan-seared gnocchi with the prepared basil pesto, then gently fold in the roasted vegetables.
Plate the gnocchi mixture and top with sliced grilled chicken strips.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of textures and fresh flavors.
