Creamy Chicken with Pepperoncini and Parmesan blends tender chicken in a rich, velvety sauce balanced by the gentle tang and mild heat of pepperoncini. Parmesan adds nutty depth while garlic and oregano round out the flavors, making it cozy yet lively. Serve for a quick weeknight dinner with orzo, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.

1

Assemble all the ingredients.
2

Cut the chicken breasts into cubes; season both sides with salt and black pepper.
3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the 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 register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
4

Add the onion to the skillet; cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broth, oregano, and crushed red pepper. Simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
5

Stir in the cream, Parmesan, and pepperoncini brine. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
6

Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat. Add the sliced pepperoncini.
7

Serve, garnished with parsley if desired.
