INGREDIENTS:
• 2 Chicken breasts (we like to marinate the chicken in salt water or buttermilk overnight in a Ziplock bag)
• 4 Tbsp Joy’s Gourmet Sundried Tomato Garlic Spread
• 1 C Panko breadcrumbs (Panko comes in gluten-free options)
• 1 Tbsp salt
• • Microgreens for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Pound chicken breasts out so they are even in thickness.
3. Mix the Panko and Garlic Spread in a bowl (as if you are making a pie crust).
4. Place chicken on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick olive oil.
5. Cover and pat down on all sides of the breasts with the prepared Panko-garlic mixture.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
7. Ovens temperatures will vary depending on the type and make, so keep an eye on the chicken and remove it from the oven when the crust is reddish-brown do not to overcook. Internal temperature should reach 165° using a meat thermometer.
Serve with roasted potatoes with garlic, mushrooms, and onions with garlic.
VARIATIONS: You could try a small pork tenderloin or fish filet instead of chicken. Just about any white meat works well with this crust!
Mediterranean Spread Bold and Vibrant
richly tangy
This is a vegan spread, dip, marinade, cooking ingredient, topping, or sauté!
This Mediterranean spread offers a bold and vibrant taste, pairing earthy sun-dried tomatoes with the crisp, clean taste of fresh garlic, creating a delicious flavor addition to take recipes to the next level. It is a healthier replacement for mayonnaise and other condiments, a great flavor addition to many recipes, and we use it to flavor everything we eat.
Spread on sandwiches for an elevated gourmet taste. Dip your French fries, mix in mashed potatoes, stuff your burgers, or top your fish and add a crust of chopped almonds or walnuts. Marinate your steaks, ribs, or chicken prior to grilling, sautéing, or baking. Great with rotisserie chicken and for making grilled cheese sandwiches.
The spread also offers health benefits. The red pigment contained in tomatoes is called lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Studies conducted by Harvard researchers have discovered that men who consumed 10 servings of tomatoes a week can cut the risk of developing prostate cancer by 45 percent!
