Peperoncini Skillet Chicken – 20 Minute Recipe

Now listen it may not visually be the best thing you’ll ever eat but I promise you, it sure is one of the most delicious and you’re going to have to put all your trust in me and just make this!! I would HIGHLY suggest you double the recipe and serve it with angel hair which is a strange suggestion coming from me (not my fav pasta shape) but somehow it works so well for this I can’t handle it. All you do is season and sear some chicken breast, add in some shallots and garlic, cook that up for about 2 minutes then add in the stock and cream, simmer on medium for 5 minutes then add the parm and peperoncini and simmer another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Little parsley on top and I’m telling youuuuu, insane!! You just must! Ingredients below! 4- 4-6oz each chicken breast 2 Shallots 2 cloves of garlic 2 tsp of Italian seasoning 1 cup of chicken stock 1 cup of cream 1/4 cup of parm 1 cup of peperoncini Salt and pepper to taste Couple tbsp of olive oil Follow me Amazon: https://amazon.com/live/mrsvitale?tag=vitaleproduct-20&linkCode=ilv&ref_=social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrsvitale?igsh=bGx4Y213c21hd3Vw&utm_source=qr Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsvitale?_r=1&_t=ZT-91OqcESlqPe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BovLLyRCy/?mibextid=wwXIfr Website: www.laurainthekitchen.com
