Chicken Pesto Nourish Bowl

This is my go-to meal for when my body is craving a nutrient-dense and flavorful dish.

Salad Ingredients:

• 1 handful spinach, chopped
• 1 handful romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1/2 cup sweet potatoes, chopped
• 4 oz chicken breast
• 1/8 avocado (Low FODMAP serving)
• sprinkle of parmesan cheese
• pine nuts

Pesto Dressing Ingredients: (makes quite a bit, store in the fridge for up to a week)

• 1/4 block of firm tofu
• handful of spinach
• handful of fresh basil
• 1 tbsp pine nuts
• 3 tbsp garlic infused olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1.5 tsp apple cider vinegar
• salt & pepper to taste
• water until desired consistency

Instructions:

Pre-heat your air fryer or oven to 375F.

To your air fryer tray or baking dish, place your chicken breast in the center, drizzling with garlic olive oil and adding salt and pepper to taste. Begin cooking your chicken, and around the 8 minute mark, add your sweet potato, seasoning the same as you did the chicken. Cook your chicken for a total of 20-25 min, checking around the 20 min mark to see if the juices run clear.

While your chicken and sweet potatoes are cooking, add your pesto dressing ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until your desired consistency.

Once you have made your dressing, chop your spinach and romaine lettuce to make the base of your nourish bowl.

Once your chicken and sweet potato are done cooking, add them over top of your greens. Then add your avocado, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and your pesto dressing. Toss your salad and enjoy!

It can be difficult to get enough fiber in your diet when being on Low FODMAP; if you are struggling with eating balanced meals, then this is the dish for you! It is both nourishing and delicious.
