Creating Chicken Pomodoro Skillet is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Tomatoes and Herbs: Pour in the diced tomatoes, oregano, and basil. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
6. Return Chicken to Skillet: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the tomato mixture over them.
7. Add Mozzarella: Top each chicken breast with pieces of fresh mozzarella cheese. Cover the skillet and let it cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately over cooked pasta or rice if desired.
