1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over it ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Leave it to rest for 15 minutes.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add in chicken breasts and sear them 4 minutes each side. The chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked at this stage. Once browned, remove and set aside.
3
In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion along with red pepper flakes and a little salt. Stir while scraping up the browned bits from the pan, cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
4
Add cherry tomatoes into the pan and cook until they start to burst. Drizzle a little more oil if needed. Stir in minced garlic and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until it emits a fragrant aroma.
5
Now pour in the can of crushed tomatoes, followed by heavy cream and unsalted butter. Add half of the finely chopped basil leaves, then let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes.
6
Return the semi-cooked chicken into the pan, cover and simmer for another 10 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
7
To serve, sprinkle each chicken piece with mozzarella pearls and the remaining chopped basil.
