Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Ok, Caraleigh printed this recipe off the internet, and I just took it, read through the ingredients, added it to the menu for the week, and that was that. It wasn't until I started to prepare it that I got it! The chicken is like a little parm freco with the basil and tomatoes on the top...it was sooo pretty and really yummy! Super simple and the chicken breast doesn't even need salt and pepper because the parm has so much yummy flavor!

2 cups of shredded Parmesan cheese
4 chicken breast
4 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup of basil, cut into thin slices
olive oil

Place the parmesan cheese in a pie plate. Take the chicken breast and press both sides into the cheese, making a crust on the outside. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the chicken breast in the pan and cook on both sides until done, being careful when you turn them...they will be a beautiful browned color on both sides.
In a small bowl place the tomatoes and the basil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When the chicken breast are cooked...blot on a paper towel and place on the plate...top each with a little of the salad!
