5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Bright, balanced, and unexpectedly tender chicken in a creamy sauce with pepperoncini for a lively acidity.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced pepperoncini peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Start with a hot pan for a good sear and do not overcrowd the skillet. Be gentle while simmering the cream to avoid separation.
