Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3. In a skillet, brown the chicken on both sides over medium-high heat, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Remove the chicken and set aside.
5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Stir in the tomatoes, heavy cream, thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
9. Serve the chicken warm, with the sauce spooned generously over the top.
