1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the chicken.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken breasts.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the top of the chicken.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Basil Butter Chicken!
