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

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.

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