Pollo facile con panna e salsa di pomodoro

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if necessary, then add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
   • Pour in the canned tomatoes or tomato puree, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic. Let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
4. Add the Cream: Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the heavy cream and stir until the sauce turns a rich, pink color. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine and Serve:
   • Add the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.
   • Garnish with chopped basil or parsley and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce!
