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 or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option
  • ½ cup roasted red pepper drained and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers drained (sliced, ring, or whole)

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips seasoned with sea salt and ground pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through—about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the diced onions and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent—about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken stock along with the roasted red peppers. Bring to a gentle simmer before adding heavy cream. Stir well to combine into a creamy mixture.
  4. Add parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix until well incorporated and let it simmer gently for a couple of minutes until thickened slightly. Fold in the pepperoncini peppers.
  5. Serve the creamy pepperoncini chicken hot, over rice, pasta, or on its own.
