Ingredients
  

  • baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • olive oil
  • 1 stick butter melted
  • 4 slices of white bread
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 chicken breasts mine were butterflied into cutlets
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
  • a handful of black olives
  • zest of one lemon
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese

Instructions
 

  • Toss some baby potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast in a 400 degree oven. They will take about 20-30 minutes total. Get these started and you can add the chicken to the oven and they can cook at the same time.
  • Add the bread to a food processor. I had a gorgeous loaf of Italian bread, so I used that, but regular white bread is just fine. Pulse until it turns into crumbs.
  • I am lazy, so instead of chopping garlic and parsley, I dumped the breadcrumbs out and pulsed the parsley and garlic until it was chopped fine.
  • Add the breadcrumbs back, and pour in the melted butter. Pulse again until it coats all of the breadcrumbs.
  • Press the bread mixture onto the chicken breasts. Put the chicken into the oven with the potatoes and bake until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes, and toss with olives, the zest of a lemon, and Tablespoon or so of olive oil, salt and pepper, and some chopped parsley.
  • Add some feta cheese. Set aside.
  • Layer some mixed greens on the bottom of the plate. Add the chicken breasts, and the tomato and olive salad. Serve with roasted potatoes.
