  • 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, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

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

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

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

  5. Serve with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add more pepperoncini peppers or hot sauce.

  • You can swap the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.

  • Fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, or rosemary will add depth to the sauce.

  • Add vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the skillet for extra nutrition.
