Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your chicken into thin strips and season them generously with sea salt and ground pepper. Let the seasoned chicken marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for approximately 8 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add diced white onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock and add 1 cup of roasted red peppers, bringing the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Off the heat, whisk in ½ cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and the sliced pepperoncini peppers. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and heat through for about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Serve the Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Skillet hot over rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
