INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (approx. 170g)
1/2 cup Potato Gnocchi (approx. 70g)
1 Tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto (approx. 14g)
1 cup Broccoli (approx. 150g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the broccoli with half a teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi. Cook according to package instructions, typically until they float to the top, indicating they are done. Drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cooked gnocchi and pan-fry for 2-3 minutes until the edges become crispy. Stir in the fresh basil pesto and gently toss to coat.
Plate the crispy gnocchi alongside the sliced chicken breast and roasted broccoli. Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal.
