Ingredients

    Gremolata:
    1/4 cup wheat germ
    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
    400g chicken breast skinned,
    1/4 cup orange juice (fresh is best)
    1/2 tsp ground coriander seed

Directions

Cut the chicken in half horizontally, then cut each piece into 2, keeping all pieces the same size (giving 4 pieces in all)
To make the gremolata crumb:
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.

Using a heavy based non stick pan, heat the oil gently, add the crumbed chicken and cook, gently 3 mins on each side, turning carefully. When the chicken is cooked, remove to a plate and keep hot.
Add the orange juice to the pan with 1 Tbs reserved gremolata crumb mixture. Cook on high heat until reduced to about half.
Serve the chicken onto serving plates and pour the sauce evenly over each piece.
