Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast with Tomato and Basil

Recipe courtesy Rachel Ray 

Coarse salt and pepper
2 cups shredded Parmesan, (make sure to get shredded cheese, not grated)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8-oz each)  
1 TBSP extra-virgin olive oil
4 plum tomatoes or small, vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
15 to 20 fresh basil leaves, pile leaves, roll then thinly slice
Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat — your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.
While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of tomato and basil mixture.
