2. Season both sides of the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3. Preheat your oven to 200 °C/400 °F if you’re using it.

Then pour in the white w**e, simmer for 2 minutes, while using a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Add salt, pepper, dried basil, and tomato paste, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
6. Add the chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Then, add the canned cherry tomatoes and bring to a boil. Let this simmer for 5 minutes, adjusting the salt if needed. While it simmers, chop the basil leaves.
7. Next, place the chicken back into the skillet among the cherry tomatoes. Top with basil and mozzarella cubes. Sprinkle with black pepper, red pepper flakes, and grated Parmesan.
