Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering and fragrant.
- Generously season the chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown on both sides. It doesn't need to be fully cooked at this stage. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir in the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to reduce by half, scraping any tasty bits from the bottom. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
- Place the chicken back in the skillet and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and mix in the Parmesan cheese, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until the cheese melts and everything is beautifully combined.
- Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, quinoa salad, or a green salad with zesty vinaigrette. Store chicken and sauce separately in airtight containers.
