- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs if you prefer dark meat
- ½ cup pesto store-bought works great, or go homemade for extra freshness
- 1 cup heavy cream this gives you that luscious, creamy sauce
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved (they roast down into sweet little bursts of flavor)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting and cooking
- 3 cloves garlic minced (adds bold, savory depth)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese melts into the sauce for extra richness
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional, but adds color and fresh aroma)
