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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, brown the chicken on both sides over medium-high heat, about 3-4 minutes per side.

- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomatoes, heavy cream, thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
