This juicy, flavorful dish is a wonderful surprise. You'll also love that it all comes together in just half an hour. The wheat germ gives a nutty edge to the chicken without adding any fat. After dipping the chicken into the wheat germ and egg whites, simply let it bake in the oven until cooked through. Letting the sun-dried tomatoes soak in boiling water helps soften them before blitzing in a blender with roasted red peppers and red-wine vinegar for an unforgettable sauce. Feel free to make a batch of the sauce to serve with turkey or use as a spread for your sandwich for lunch.
