Season the chicken breast with half the salt and half the black pepper.
Heat half the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more until the center is opaque and reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, combine the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and torn basil in a mixing bowl. Whisk the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar together with the rest of the salt and pepper, then pour over the tomato mixture and toss to coat.
Slice the rested chicken into strips and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes and mozzarella. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
