Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3 minutes.

        Develop Flavor: Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder, mixing well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

          Add Cheese: Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.

            Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat each piece evenly. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

              Serve: Plate the chicken, pouring extra sauce and tomatoes over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
