For best results, use high-quality fresh mozzarella and ripe, flavorful tomatoes. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use any oven-safe skillet. Just be sure it's large enough to hold all the chicken breasts in a single layer. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice touch of heat. Serve with a side of pasta, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
