  7. Place the skillet in the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

  8. Remove from oven. Top each chicken breast with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese.

  9. Put back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F.

  10. Cut remaining ½ cup of cherry tomatoes in half.

  11. Remove chicken from the oven, top with halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and finish with remaining balsamic sauce.
