Description

This Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Skillet is a quick and delicious weeknight meal, featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich and flavorful cream sauce made with zesty pepperoncini peppers.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless

skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion

thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic

minced

1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sliced pepperoncini peppers, sautéing for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For an extra kick, you can add additional pepperoncini or a splash of the brine to the sauce.
