Full Recipe:

 Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken tenders

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 white onion, diced

• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced

• ½ cup chicken stock

• ½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and sliced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

• ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, drained and sliced

 Directions

1. Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.

3. Deglaze the Pan: Add the chicken stock to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the roasted red peppers and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.

4. Prepare the Sauce: Remove the skillet from heat. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

5. Combine Ingredients: Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Stir in the Italian seasoning and sliced pepperoncini peppers. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.

6. Simmer: Cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the creamy pepperoncini chicken over rice, pasta, or vegetables.
