• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• Salt and pepper to taste

🔪 Directions

1. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

3. Add the Pepperoncini: Stir in the sliced pepperoncini peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing their tangy flavor to infuse the dish.

4. Deglaze the Pan: Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5. Make the Creamy Sauce: Stir in heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.

7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
