1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Split the chicken breasts almost in half and open out like a book. Place in a non-stick roasting tin. Whizz the bread into crumbs in a food processor, then mix with the herbs. Mix the tomatoes with the garlic, vinegar and tomato purée. Spread the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the crumbs, then bake for 20-25 mins until the chicken is tender.
2. While the chicken is cooking, boil the frozen beans for 3-5 mins until just tender. Serve the chicken, sprinkled with parsley, on a bed of beans.

  Made this for dinner tonight. Always have garlic in the cupboard but just returned from holiday and had none, so sprinkled garlic salt on the chicken before spreading on the tomato mixture. It was delicious and I will definitely be cooking this again. Served with fresh runner beans and broccoli, but also did some potato wedges with it to make a more substantial meal.

  Not bad... a a bit bland. Make sure to season the chicken well (I didn't) and don't skimp on the herbs in the breadcrumbs. Might add a few chilli flakes in there as well to bring it to life a little next time. :o)

  Ok felt it was a bit bland. The breadcrumbs were not crispy but just seemed to soak into the tomato sauce! I did not season chicken prior to cooking perhaps this would have helped.

  I found this to be really tasty and will be making it again. There was nothing bland about it. I seasoned the chicken before coating it and also, five minutes before the end of baking the chicken, I sprinkled some grated cheddar on top.

  this dish is really really nice. except there are too many crumbs and they were soggy. i think using less crumbs would allow them to crisp up nicely

  Quick and easy. Made too much tomato sauce as was only serving 2, but used that in another dish. Served with new potatoes, green beans and peas.

  Agree with Jezz (16 October 2008). Smelled great when cooking, but a little bland for my taste. Will make again, but will use a few crushed chillis to improve taste. Mike

  Such a simple and delicious meal, will certainly make it again. Probably with a little more seasoning, and could get away with less bread crumbs.

  I have made this recipe loads. The chicken stays nice and moist. I us fresh herbs in the bread crumbs, mainly basil, makes it bit more tasty. Sometimes add some mozerella before bread crumbs. Delicious, winner in our house!!!

  lovely recipe, try adding garlic to the breadcrumbs, wish I hadn't had new potatoes with it, just the beans would have been enough
