Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breasts (skinned)
2 slices white bread
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
75 g grated parmesan cheese
50 g unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
lemon, zest of (optional)
1/2 lemon, juice of (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish (I use butter but I am sure olive oil could work).
  • Tear the bread into pieces and put it into a mixer, add the seeds and turn them into rough breadcrumbs.
  • Add the parmesan, pepper and lemon zest (if using).
  • Melt the butter.
  • Add the butter to the breadcrumb mixture and mix well.
  • Put the chicken breasts in the ovenproof dish and pat the breadcrumb mixture firmly down on top of them, covering all of the flesh.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Optional: Once the chicken is cooked take it from the dish and add the lemon juice to the pan, mix well and serve as a side-sauce. This is very strong and not everyone likes it but it works very well with veggies such as broccoli. Use sparingly!
