Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar pepperoncini peppers, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Optional: Cooked pasta (such as penne or rotini) or rice for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken cubes by patting them dry and seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  5. Pour in the reserved pepperoncini juice, scraping up the browned bits. Add chopped pepperoncini, broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine.
  6. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  7. Add the heavy cream and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over pasta or rice.
