Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs or Breasts Use thighs for a juicier bite.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Sliced Pepperoncini For a milder flavor, try banana peppers.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Using low-sodium helps keep it healthy.
  • 4 cloves Fresh Minced Garlic Fresh is best for optimal flavor.
Spices
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • large non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the seasoned chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and toss in the fresh minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced pepperoncini and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly.
  5. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet, allowing it to soak in the sauce for a minute. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
