We were experimenting with raw sunflower seeds and discovered that when ground up, they resemble breadcrumbs. So, we decided to make this Sunflower & Parmesan Crusted Chicken topped with our Fresh Tomato Basil Sauce.
Place mixture in a Ziplock bag and add four small boneless chicken breasts. Shake bag until chicken breasts are evenly coated.
Transfer chicken breasts to a skillet heated with half a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil. Cook on medium heat for three minutes per side.
Remove from pan and transfer to a baking sheet. Cook for 15-20 minutes at 350° F or until chicken is fully cooked thru. Broil for an additional two minutes and remove chicken from oven.
Top each chicken breast with a quarter cup of Fresh Tomato Basil Sauce and serve.
