Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon pepperoncini brine
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into cubes; season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in skillet and cook until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
  4. Add onion to the skillet; cook 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in cream, Parmesan, and pepperoncini brine. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to skillet and toss to coat. Add sliced pepperoncini.
  7. Serve garnished with parsley if desired.
