Season chicken breasts with a generous pinch of salt and pepper on each side.

Flip and cook on the second side for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink on the inside. Transfer chicken breasts to a separate plate and set aside.
Add the onions to the pan with the remaining oil, and saute for 3 minutes or until mostly cooked. Add the garlic and tomatoes to the pan, and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes begin to break down.
