Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Skillet. Slice the garlic and onions thinly, and cut the pepperoncini peppers into rings. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Stir in the sliced pepperoncini peppers, then pour in the cream and chicken broth. Stir gently and let the mixture start to bubble for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 8-10 minutes to thicken. Stir occasionally.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the creamy pepperoncini chicken with your choice of sides like steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
