🍗 Breadcrumbs aren’t the only way to get a crispy crust.
Ground pumpkin seeds, Parmesan and a few simple spices make a crispy, nutty coating that turns an everyday chicken dinner into something completely different.
And it’s another delicious way to use pumpkin seeds beyond sprinkling them on salads. 🎃

Pumpkin Seed Crusted Chicken
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¾ cup Mountain Path Organic Pumpkin Seeds
¼ cup finely grated Parmesan
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh lemon
Fresh parsley

Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Add the pumpkin seeds to a food processor and pulse until finely ground into a coarse, breadcrumb-like meal. Don’t over-process into a paste.
Combine the ground pumpkin seeds with Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
Brush a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each chicken breast.
Press the chicken into the pumpkin seed mixture until evenly coated.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, depending on thickness, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Finish with fresh lemon and parsley.
