Even when some of my loaves don't turn out so well, they can be sacrificed to the altar of thrift. When life gives you a bread disaster, you make breadcrumbs, one of my favourite kitchen staples.

1 Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.  In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
