Comfort Food for a Head Cold

Woke up with a head cold, but did my 8 to 5 work shift (for those of you who are connected with me through Facebook or Twitter, you know I still came through with great Chili and Chicken Gumbo!) and wanted some good comfort food for dinner when I got home. Problem was, I wanted lots of taste to battle the cold, but did not want to waste more fancy food to the same cold.

Solution: some boneless, skinless chicken breast (usually not one of my first choices), rubbed with a little olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Italian-seasoned Panko bread crumbs moistened with a little more olive oil and mixed with chopped, feta-cheese-stuffed olives were then pressed down on the chicken breast, it was put on a rack in a roasting tin, a little white wine was added to the roasting tin, and it was cooked in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Crunchy, savory, and lots of flavor. A mixed-green salad with sliced plum tomato and a honey-balsamic vinaigrette dressing on the side, and a great dinner was had. Lots of variations could be made to this one. How would you adapt it?
