Creamy Tomato Italian Parmesan Chicken

Grandkid APPROVED!!!   This is the one meal my grandkids ask for and actually EAT!!   I'll put original recipe and then put my notes.

Ingredients:
 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 chicken breasts (I use more like 6-8)
 1 small onion, chopped (still nope) 
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese  (I'm sure I use quite a bit more!!)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
 ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions:
 1. In a large skillet add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and salt and pepper the chicken. Cook the chicken on medium high heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until brown on each side and cooked until no longer pink in center. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

 2. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and add the onion and garlic. Sauté for a couple of minutes until tender. Add the tomato sauce, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and italian seasoning. Salt and pepper to taste.

3. Bring to a simmer and add the chicken back to the skillet. Top with shredded parmesan cheese. Serve over pasta of desired.

My notes:   SO YUMMY!!!  But I really hate frying chicken on stove because it makes such a mess.  Plus, I have to cook so much, that I can't get it all to fit into a frying pan anyways.   Plus-- it is hot as h%$$ here-- so keep heat down to a minimum.  So-- here is another way to do this ahead of time.    I grill my chicken with garlic salt & pepper.   Then, I place chicken in crockpot.   I mix up sauce ingredients in a bowl and pour over chicken.   I let it slow cook for several hours until we are ready to heat-- it doesn't need to cook-- just warm.    I serve with more parmesan cheese and over angel hair pasta.    Great because I can cook ahead and eat when we are ready and I can put LOTS in a crock pot.
