Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear the chicken breasts until they are golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
To the same pan, add the butter, garlic, and mushrooms, reduce the heat to medium-low, and saute until the garlic is fragrant and the mushrooms have released their liquid.
Add the heavy cream, parmesan and diced tomatoes to the pan. Mix in and let simmer to thicken, about 10 minutes.
Add the chicken back to the pan and cook until it is heated through and fully cooked. Taste, and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
Plate and top with fresh basil.
