For the pesto

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and patted dry)
1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
3 tbsp pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
2
Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, parsley, pumpkin seeds, garlic-infused olive oil, 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp sea salt in a food processor. Pulse 10–12 times, then scrape down the sides and process until the mixture is a coarse, spreadable paste — not completely smooth. Set aside.
