  5. 5. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes.

The blend is used both in the seasoning and as a finishing drizzle, which helps the tomato-basil flavor carry through the whole dish. If your tomatoes are especially juicy, slice them just before serving so the platter stays neat.
