  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
