Prepare the Ingredients
Start by gathering all the ingredients. Rinse the chicken breast under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh basil.

Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken breast to the bowl and coat it evenly with the marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the Oven
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a baking dish and drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Bake the Chicken
Once the chicken has marinated, place it on top of the cherry tomatoes in the baking dish. Sprinkle the chopped basil over the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Serve the Dish
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken along with the roasted cherry tomatoes and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
