1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted (any Oil; Grapeseed Oil, Olive Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Etc)
1 Tablespoon Canola Oil (again Any Oil)
1 pinch Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoons Cardamom
1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper

1
Preheat oven to 375 F.
2
Add everything on the above list from the oils down to the cumin into a shallow baking dish.
3
Mix to combine (I used a fork).
4
Then stir in the oats and mix until the oats are coated in the mixture.
5
Add in the chicken breasts, and roll them in the oat mixture, patting to coat each breast.
6
You can do this with your hands, but since I cant touch raw meat, I used the back of a spoon.
7
Put the chicken onto a non-stick spray coated baking dish.
8
Drizzle honey over each breast, spray with a bit of canola oil.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until each breast is done, flipping halfway through.
10
Serve garnished with basil if desired.
