Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add tomatoes, basil, shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often and breaking the tomato halves up with a spoon.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, mix bread crumbs with 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese on a plate.
Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Coat each chicken cutlet with bread crumb mixture and transfer to a large plate.
