Season and Prepare Chicken : Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts to season them well. In a spacious skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sauté for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a rich golden-brown color and are fully cooked. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest.

Create the Creamy : Base In the same skillet, introduce the butter and let it melt completely. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, or until it releases a delightful aroma.

Add Tomatoes and Herbs : Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring occasionally until they soften, around 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes, mixing well to release the herbs’ aroma.

Make the Cream Sauce : Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine all ingredients. Let the sauce come to a gentle simmer, thickening slightly over about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and further thicken the sauce.

Combine and Finish : Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece to coat well. Let them simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Garnish and Serve : Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot. This meal complements a variety of sides wonderfully, such as al dente pasta, creamy mashed potatoes, or slices of rustic bread.
