Rinse the chicken breast fillets, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan and sear the meat, skin-side down. Turn and continue to cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Caramelize the sugar in the cooking oil. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and chicken stock. Stir in the crème fraîche. Simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes. Wash, deseed, and dice the tomatoes. Rinse the basil and shake dry. Pick off the leaves and finely chop.
