5. REMOVE SEARED CHICKEN ONTO A PLATE AND SET ASIDE
6. REDUCE HEAT TO MEDIUM, ADD OLIVE OIL AND FRY ONION FOR 3 MINUTES AND THEN ADD GARLIC FOR ANOTHER 1 MINUTE COOKING.
7. ADD TOMATO PASTE, THEN TIN OF TOMATO. GIVE IT A LITTLE STIR FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THEN ADD ITALIAN SEASONING OR DRIED BASIL AND ORGEANO SEASONING.
8. ADD LITTLE PEPPER AND SALT SEASONING.
9. THEN FINALLY ADD DOUBLE CREAM.
10. BRING TO A SIMMER, THEN ADD CHICKEN BACK TO PAN AND SIMMER FOR ANOTHER 15-25 MINUTES AT MEDIUM LOW TEMPERATURE. COVER WITH LID WHEN COOKING.
