Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 220°C.
Step 2
• In a bowl or pitcher, combine balsamic vinegar, parsley, basil, salt, black pepper, garlic, and 1 cup olive oil. Shake well. Place the chicken in a large zip-lock bag and pour half the dressing over it. Seal the bag and massage the chicken to coat with the marinade.
Step 3
• Trim the ends of the green beans and place them in a large bowl along with the tomatoes. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and toss to combine.
Step 4
• Using tongs, place the chicken skin-side up on a baking sheet. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans and tomatoes to the baking sheet, reserving any excess dressing in a bowl. Bake for 20 minutes.
Step 5
• Meanwhile, cut the bread into large pieces. Place in a bowl, drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and toss to combine.
Step 6
• After 20 minutes of baking the chicken and vegetables, shake the pan to prevent sticking, then add the bread crumbs. Continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, about 10 more minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
