  4. Add cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to burst and release juices.
  5. Chop the cooked chicken into strips and return to the skillet. Stir to combine with tomatoes and garlic.

  7. Optionally, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and cover for 2 minutes until melted.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
