Creating the Caprese Chicken Skillet is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Cook Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
4. Add Tomatoes: Once the chicken is cooked, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5. Top with Mozzarella: Lay the slices of mozzarella cheese over the chicken and tomatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Finish with Basil: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the fresh basil on top of the dish.
7. Drizzle (Optional): If desired, drizzle a balsamic glaze over the chicken and tomatoes for an extra flavor boost.
8. Serve: Plate the dish and enjoy your incredible Caprese Chicken Skillet while it’s warm!
