Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 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
- Melt butter: In a large, heavy pan, melt butter on medium high heat.
- Season and cook chicken: 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.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add garlic and onion to pan, let brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add stock and peppers: Add stock and roasted red peppers and let reduce to half, another 5 minutes.
- Prepare creamy sauce: 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.
- Simmer and serve: Let sauce reduce to half and bring chicken fully to 165 degrees 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!
