Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, heavy cream, and diced tomatoes. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over pasta or rice.
