Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 lbs chicken cut into thin strips
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers drained and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers drained (sliced, rings, or whole, as preferred)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Melt the butter in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken strips with a pinch of sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Sauté the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, until it's golden and thoroughly cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: Using the same skillet, toss in the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to become aromatic and tender.
  • Deglaze and Build the Sauce: Pour the chicken stock into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. Stir in the roasted red peppers and cook for 2 minutes to soften.
  • Add the Cream and Cheese: Reduce the heat to medium and gently stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and incorporated.
  • Season and Add Pepperoncini: Stir in the Italian seasoning and pepperoncini peppers. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
  • Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, giving the flavors time to combine and develop.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan or a sprinkle of Italian herbs, if you like. Enjoy alongside your favorite side, such as pasta, rice, or a refreshing salad.
