Preheat oven to 375 degrees, gather all ingredients and set aside, and heat an oven safe skillet on medium heat
Slice tomato into thin slices (at least 8 total). Thoroughly season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper
Begin to cook your bacon by adding the strips to the hot skillet. Cook until done on both sides. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set aside
Remove about 1/4 cup of the bacon grease, still leaving enough to thoroughly coat the skillet, turn skillet up to medium high, and immediately add each chicken breast
Sear each chicken breast on both sides for around 3 minutes each
Once seared, add sliced tomato to the top of each chicken breast and place the skillet in the oven for around 20 minutes* or until fully cooked. *At the last 10 minutes, remove the skillet, add torn burrata to cover each chicken breast and return the skillet to the oven.
Remove the skillet from the oven. Thinly slice your basil leaves and crumble the cooked bacon. Add both on top of the chicken and enjoy!
