Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium sliced red bell pepper
  • ⅓ cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers drained
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Season 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt,and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  • In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
  • Returning to the skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, and ⅓ cup diced yellow onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes until tender.
  • Whisk in ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth and ½ cup sliced pepperoncini peppers. Cook until the broth is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Cook until the sauce starts to slightly thicken, about 2 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the pan. Add the pepperoncini and toss to coat in the sauce. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or cooked noodles.
