Instructions:
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
Start by gathering all the ingredients and prepping them for cooking.

- Cook Time: 25 minutes
Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika on both sides.
In a big skillet set over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 2: Add Garlic and Tomatoes
Reduce the heat to medium.
Sauté the minced garlic in the skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 3: Deglaze and Simmer
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate all the flavors.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes are fully softened.
Step 4: Finish with Cream and Parmesan
Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and tomatoes.
Stir well until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Garnish the skillet chicken with fresh parsley.
Serve the chicken breasts on a plate, spooning the tomato and Parmesan sauce over the top.
