Ingredients
  

  • 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)
