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
In a large, heavy pan, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to pan. Brown on all sides, turning every couple of minutes, about 8 minutes total.
Remove chicken from pan; it might not be fully cooked yet, which is fine.
Add garlic and onion to pan; let brown for about 5 minutes.
Add stock and roasted red peppers; let reduce to half, about 5 minutes.
Turn heat off, and slowly stir in cream and parmesan, whisking vigorously.
Slowly bring heat back to medium-high, add Italian seasoning, pepperoncinis, and chicken back to pan.
Let sauce reduce to half and bring chicken to 165°F 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!
