2. Wash a bunch of basil and separate the leaves from the stems. We don't need the stems, only the leaves. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste, then place basil leaves on one half of each breast.

4. Place the chicken breasts together. To prevent them from opening during frying, secure them with toothpicks. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and fry the chicken breasts. Cook each side for about five minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has developed a fragrant golden color. To check for doneness, make a small cut into the meat. It should appear opaque, not pink. Transfer the chicken to serving plates and garnish with fresh herbs. It can be served as a standalone dish or accompanied by rice or potatoes as a side.
