Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken is a weeknight dinner that feels restaurant-worthy without the extra effort. Juicy chicken breasts are simmered in a rich, velvety sauce made with tangy pepperoncini, Parmesan, and a hint of Dijon for balance. The result is comforting, zesty, and incredibly satisfying. Serve it over rice, pasta, or cauliflower rice for a cozy meal that will quickly become a family favorite.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice
1 cup chicken broth
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onion for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and pepperoncini; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and pepperoncini juice, scraping up any browned bits.
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cream, Parmesan, and Dijon until smooth.
Return chicken to the skillet and simmer 5–7 minutes until cooked through and sauce thickens.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
