Place 1 chicken breast in center of each sheet; sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper and top with tomatoes. For each packet, tightly crimp top and bottom sides of foil over chicken; fold and tightly crimp both ends of foil. Place packets on rimmed baking pan; bake 20 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°.
