Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the shallots. Add a pinch of sugar and salt and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well and set aside.
Season the chicken lightly with salt. Broil the chicken for 6 minutes, then turn and broil for another 6 minutes or until browned and the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
