Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy One-Pan Pepperoncini Chicken Skillet
- Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour in the reserved pepperoncini juice along with the chopped pepperoncini peppers. Add the chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir together and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating each piece well in the creamy sauce. Let it cook together for 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately over rice or pasta.
