3. Let stand for 10-15 minutes at room temp before serving.

For the Chicken -

1. Place rolled oats into food processor until finely ground and transfer into a mixing bowl.

2. Place macadamia nuts into food processor until finely ground. Don't over work them into a paste so they clump together. Transfer into bowl with the oats and mix well.

5. Dredge the breasts in the oat/nut mixture until they are well coated.

6. In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat.

7. Add the chicken breasts turning occasionally to make sure all sides are crispy and golden brown. Approx. 6-8 minutes.

8. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
