### Instructions:
**1. Prepare the Chicken:**
Start by seasoning your chicken with salt, pepper, and a little Italian seasoning. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts (or thighs) and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
**2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:**
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant. This step creates the base of the sauce and adds a wonderful aroma to the dish.
**3. Make the Sauce:**
Add the diced tomatoes (with juices) to the skillet and stir, allowing the tomatoes to cook for about 5 minutes. Then, pour in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing everything together until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with more salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
**4. Combine the Chicken and Sauce:**
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes to absorb the flavors and ensure everything is heated through.
**5. Serve and Garnish:**
Once the chicken is fully cooked and coated in the rich, creamy sauce, it’s time to serve. This dish pairs perfectly with a side of cooked pasta or rice to soak up all that delicious sauce. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and a burst of freshness.
