Wash and tear the basil, and add it to the tomatoes. Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a pan and briefly sear the chicken breast on both sides over high heat. Then finish cooking over medium heat. Mix the green pesto with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and pour over the tomato and mozzarella mixture.
