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


Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken strips to the skillet and season with sea salt and ground pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add diced onion and garlic. Sauté until onion is translucent.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in the roasted red pepper, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepperoncini peppers. Mix well.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat in the creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk. This dish pairs well with pasta or rice.
