4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp chili sauce
3 tbsp oil
½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper

 

Nut crust:

1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
½ cup coarsely chopped roasted pistachio nuts
½ cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
4 tbsp black sesame seeds
2 tbsp regular sesame seeds
½ tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
3 tbsp oil
2 tbsp date syrup or honey

 

Preheat oven to 400°F. Divide each chicken breast in half, for a total of 6 butterflied halves. Mix the seasoning ingredients together and brush the chicken with ⅔ of the mixture. Bake the chicken for 12 minutes, uncovered.

Mix all the crust ingredients together. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush with remaining ⅓ of the seasoning mixture.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Cut chicken on the diagonal in ½- ¾ inch thick slices.
