Equipment

Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 375°. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet.
