Instructions
Transfer the toasts to a food processor and blitz until fine with the dried herbs.
Dip the chicken breast in egg and transfer it to the crumbs. Make sure it is covered with crumbs before arranging it in an oven safe dish.
Repeat with each breast, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
In a small saucepan, sauté the garlic and chilli, add the tin of tomatoes, simmer for 15 minutes and remove from heat.
Add your anchovies and capers or if you don’t want to use these, season with salt and black pepper.
Only add the fresh basil when the sauce has cooled down a bit, mix through and smother each breast with sauce, olives and grated parmesan.
