  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, cooking them for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  3. Add pepperoncini peppers, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken and the chicken absorb the flavors.

  5. Serve with rice, vegetables, or any preferred side dishes.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more pepperoncini peppers or hot sauce.

  • Make the dish dairy-free by substituting heavy cream with coconut milk.

  • Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to elevate the flavor.

  • For added nutrition, include vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers during cooking.
