Remove the chicken to a large casserole, pour over the pan drippings, then cover and bake for 45 minutes. When the chicken is done, return the pan drippings to the skillet. Stir the flour in and add a little more salt and pepper. Over low heat, add the cream and the tomato sauce and, stirring continuously, blend thoroughly.
