06 - Balsamic vinegar (optional, for drizzling)
07 - Ground black pepper, as much as you like
08 - Salt to your preference
09 - 30 ml extra virgin olive oil

# Steps:

01 - Spoon everything into your bowls or plates and pour on a little balsamic if you feel like it.
02 - Drop the shredded mozzarella all over the top, put the lid on your pan, and let the cheese get gooey for about 2 minutes on low heat.
03 - Mix in the basil and tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, keep it on the stove for a couple minutes till the tomatoes turn soft.
04 - Toss the ground chicken into the pan, smash it up with your spatula, crank up the heat a bit, and cook 5 to 7 minutes till you don’t see pink.
05 - In a big skillet, warm up the olive oil over medium. Add the garlic and let it go for 30 seconds, just till you can smell it.
06 - Chop up your basil, dice those tomatoes, and mince the garlic. Give everything a nice rinse first.

# Notes:

01 - If you can, grab ripe tomatoes and some really good olive oil—they make a difference.
02 - Hold off serving till the cheese is extra melty so it turns out super creamy.
