1/4 cup parsley and cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped raw pecans
3 tsp orange zest
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
To cook:
2 tp olive oil

Directions
Cut the chicken in half horizontally, then cut each piece into 2, keeping all pieces the same size (giving 4 pieces in all)

Ensure the parsley and cilantro, are dry.
Put wheat germ, parsley, cilantro, pecans, orange zest ,nutmeg and cinnamon in the food processor and process until like breadcrumbs.
Use 8 Tbs of the mixture to 'crumb' the chicken pieces.
Keep 1 Tbs of left over crumbs for the sauce but any more that has been in contact with the chicken should be thrown away. Any crumb mixture that has not been in contact with the chicken may be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or the freezer indefinately.
