Score the chicken breast fillets deeply with a sharp knife. Heat a frying pan with the butter over medium high heat. Cook the fillets, scored side first, just until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper, and place them in a baking dish.
Cook and stir the shallots in the nonstick frying pan until golden.
Stir in the flour to coat the shallots.
Stir in half of the crème fraîche, and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
Stir in the tomatoes, grated Comté cheese, the remaining crème fraîche and the Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the cheese mixture over the chicken breast fillets in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink at the centre, and the gratin coating is deeply golden, about 30 minutes.
