Creating a delightful Creamy Pesto Chicken with Roasted Tomatoes is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to achieve culinary success:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the tomatoes will roast beautifully.

2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. Roast Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to blister.

5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

6. Make the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream and pesto. Stir well to combine and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

7. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

These easy steps will guide you in creating a memorable meal that everyone will love.
