Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 lbs chicken, cut into thin strips
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic, diced
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ½ cup roasted red pepper, drained and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, drained (sliced, ring, or whole pepper, however you like them)

Instructions

  • In a large, heavy pan, melt butter on medium high heat.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, add to pan.
  • Brown chicken on all sides, turning every couple minutes – about 8 minutes total.
  • Remove chicken from pan (chicken might not be fully to 165 degrees internal temperature, which is fine)
  • Add garlic and onion to pan, let brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add stock and roasted red peppers and let reduce to half, another 5 minutes.
  • Turn heat off, and slowly stir in cream and parmesan, whisking vigorously as you add cream.
  • Slowly bring heat back to medium high, add Italian seasoning, pepperoncinis, and chicken back to pan.
  • Let sauce reduce to half and bring chicken fully to 165 fahrenheit internal temperature. Add more stock if needed to thin sauce as chicken cooks.
  • Remove from heat and serve over vegetables, pasta, rice, or on its own!
