Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until almost tender.

02

Step

While the potatoes roast, prepare the breadcrumb mixture. In a food processor, pulse the bread until finely ground into crumbs. Transfer to a bowl.

03

Step

Add the garlic and parsley to the food processor and pulse until finely minced. Add the breadcrumbs back to the processor, pour in the melted butter, and pulse until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and form a slightly moist mixture.

04

Step

Press the breadcrumb mixture evenly onto the top of each butterflied chicken breast, ensuring a generous coating.

05

Step

Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet with the potatoes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

06

Step

While the chicken bakes, prepare the tomato and feta salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olives, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Gently stir in the crumbled feta cheese.

07

Step

To assemble, layer arugula on the bottom of each plate. Top with a breadcrumb-crusted chicken breast, a generous spoonful of tomato and feta salsa, and serve alongside the roasted potatoes.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a subtle kick.
If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the garlic and parsley by hand and mix with the breadcrumbs and melted butter.
To prevent the breadcrumb topping from burning, you can tent the chicken with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
