Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.

4. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan with the sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

5. Assemble the Dish:
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
- Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Cover the pan with a lid for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts completely.

6. Garnish and Serve:
