Savory Balsamic Gnocchi with Rosemary Chicken

Healthy Fact of the Day

This dish incorporates a variety of nutritious ingredients, including lean chicken, whole-grain gnocchi, and leafy greens. The balsamic vinegar adds a tangy flavor and potential health benefits, while the rosemary provides an aromatic and flavorful touch. The addition of Parmesan cheese contributes protein and calcium.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (16 oz) package potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 cups baby spinach or arugula

 

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Season them generously with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the chicken breasts and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside, discarding the rosemary sprigs.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.

  5. Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips or cubes and toss them with the balsamic vinegar mixture, ensuring that the chicken is well coated.

  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain the gnocchi, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.

  7. In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.

  8. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss with the melted butter and reserved cooking water, if needed, to create a light sauce.

  9. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and baby spinach or arugula. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the greens are wilted.

  10. Return the balsamic vinegar-coated chicken to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

  11. Serve the balsamic gnocchi with rosemary chicken hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh rosemary, if desired.

Enjoy this savory balsamic gnocchi with rosemary chicken as a delicious and well-balanced meal that combines flavors and textures in a satisfying way!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto

Lemon Butter Lobster Risotto is a rich and indulgent dish, but there are ways to make it even healthier while maintaining its creamy texture and luxurious flavor. Using low-sodium chicken stock can help reduce sodium intake, while swapping brown rice or cauliflower rice for Arborio rice can increase fiber and lower the carb content. Lobster is naturally high in protein and low in fat, making it a great lean seafood choice, but using less butter and replacing some with heart-healthy olive oil can further lighten the dish. Opting for reduced-fat Parmesan or nutritional yeast can provide cheesy flavor with less saturated fat. The addition of lemon juice and zest not only enhances brightness but also delivers vitamin C and antioxidants. Serve with a side of leafy greens for an extra nutrient boost, and enjoy this creamy risotto as part of a well-balanced meal!

Use whole wheat panko breadcrumbs for added fiber, and swap regular mayonnaise for Greek yogurt or a light mayo to lower fat content while keeping the creamy texture. Cauliflower itself is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and fiber to support digestion and overall health. The Sriracha and honey in the sauce add bold flavor with minimal calories, making this dish a satisfying and nutritious snack or appetizer option. Enjoy it as part of a balanced meal!
