Chicken with Tomato-Basil Cream Sauce

This is something Lissa makes a lot so I wanted to try it. I served it with angel hair pesto.

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 pounds), pounded
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup whipping or heavy cream
2 tablespoons loosely packed fresh basil leaves, cut in thin strips


Season chicken, if desired, with salt and ground black pepper.
In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat and cook chicken 8 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked, turning once. Remove chicken and set aside.
In same skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook tomatoes, onion and salt, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are tender. Stir in broth and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in cream. Reduce heat to low and return chicken to skillet. Simmer uncovered 4 minutes or until sauce is thickened and chicken is heated through. Garnish with basil.
