Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Slice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and mince garlic.
  2. Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and no longer pink.
  3. Add garlic and peppers: In the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic. Then stir in the chopped roasted red peppers until fragrant.
  4. Create your sauce: Pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously. Add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese, mixing until creamy—about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Finish and serve: Once the sauce thickens, taste for seasoning adjustments. Garnish with fresh basil before serving hot over pasta or alongside crusty bread.
