Ingredients

Four 5-ounce chicken breasts (weighed raw)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
One 10-ounce container cherry tomatoes
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
On the stovetop, heat a large, oven-safe skillet to medium heat.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on each side.
Spray pan with cooking spray, and add chicken. Brown for about 3 minutes until golden brown, and flip over to cook for 3 additional minutes.
Add cherry tomatoes to the pan, and place in oven to cook for 20-25 minutes (or until chicken's internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit)
Remove from oven, and gently smash tomatoes with a fork if they haven't burst yet. This creates a delicious sauce!
Turn oven to a high broil, and sprinkle 1/2 ounce of cheese on to each breast. Place back in the oven to broil for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
Sprinkle with chopped basil.
