Preparation
1
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Add chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
4
While chicken cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice or tear the fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the fresh basil.
5
Once chicken is cooked, top each breast with the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. If desired, you can place the chicken back in the warm skillet for 1-2 minutes to slightly melt the mozzarella.
