Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken tenderloins

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced

  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 2 tsp dried Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Add chicken tenderloins and sear on both sides until golden and just cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter.

  4. Sauté onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

  5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2 minutes.

  6. Add heavy cream, Italian seasoning, pepperoncini, roasted red peppers, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

  7. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer on low for 5–6 minutes to meld flavors and slightly thicken sauce.

  8. Stir in parmesan cheese until fully melted and creamy.

  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.

  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your desired spice level.

  • Leftovers make a great filling for wraps or sandwiches!
