Chicken Breasts Smothered in Tomatoes and Mozzarella image

I made this recipe, but as my custom when cooking, I just season my chicken with various spices that I have on hand. This recipe didn't mention any seasonings so I added my own without measuring. I apologize for not having any measurements for this recipe.
