Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers jarred
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced pepperoncini and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and dried Italian herbs, mixing well.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and cover the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
