Pound chicken super thin to ¼'' thickness (here is a quick tip, before pounding place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic paper, it will create less mess on the table). Season with salt and pepper.

Flip on the other side and cook for another 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thru. Transfer to a plate. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook the second chicken breast by repeating step 4.

Step Five

Slice ½ of the cherry tomatoes in half, place them in the bowl and set aside. Using the same skillet over medium/high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
