Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides of each breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place a sausage at the edge of a chicken breast and roll the chicken tightly around the sausage. Secure each roll with toothpicks to hold its shape.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken-wrapped sausages on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste, mixing well. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
Transfer the seared chicken-wrapped sausages to a baking dish and pour the mushroom tomato sauce over them.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven, discard the toothpicks, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the chicken-wrapped sausages hot with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
