Creamy Tomato Chicken

This skillet creamy tomato chicken dish is one of those dishes you make on certain occasions. The sauce is heavy, but so good. It consists of tomatoes, onions, garlic and heavy cream. The decadent sauce with the crispy and tender chicken thighs makes such a good combination. 

First, the chicken thighs are browned on the skillet until it is golden and crispy. After removing the chicken thighs from the skillet, onions and garlic are sauteed. Then, tomatoes, cream and tomato paste are added to complete the yummy sauce. The chicken thighs are added back to the skillet and then baked in the oven until cooked through. The result is crisp-tender chicken bathed in a yummy and creamy tomato sauce. Yum!
