Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix together the diced red onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Pour the mixture into the pan and simmer, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes.
Return chicken to pan and spoon sauce over it. Place pan in oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F), which is about 10 to 20 minutes depending on how thick the breasts are. Remove from oven.
Turn oven to broil.
Top each chicken with a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely.
Serve immediately, topped with fresh sliced tomatoes and basil and spooning the pan sauce over the top.
