High-Protein Pesto Cauliflower Gnocchi
Pan-seared cauliflower gnocchi and tender chicken breast tossed in a vibrant, herbaceous basil pesto for a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1 cup Cauliflower gnocchi
0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
1 tbsp Pine nuts
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Avocado oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Nutritional yeast
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
In a small food processor, combine the fresh basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Pulse until a smooth, vibrant pesto forms.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add the frozen cauliflower gnocchi. Sauté for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are heated through and develop a crispy, golden exterior.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the gnocchi. Turn off the heat.
Add the prepared basil pesto to the skillet and toss everything together until the gnocchi and chicken are evenly coated. Serve immediately.
