Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from French bread
1/2 cup drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
3 1/2 tablespoons oil reserved
2 large garlic cloves
4 12-ounce chicken breast halves with skin and bone

Steps:

  • Combine breadcrumbs, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons oil reserved from tomatoes and garlic in processor. Using on/off turns, process until tomatoes are coarsely chopped. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil reserved from tomatoes in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until skin is crisp and golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken, skin side up, to heavy rimmed baking sheet. Spoon breadcrumb mixture atop chicken, dividing equally and pressing to adhere. Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Place chicken on plates and serve.
