Creamy Pepperoncini Chicken Skillet

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ½ teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Pepperoncini peppers, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and sear them for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. This adds flavor to your sauce.
5. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and combined.
6. Add the sliced pepperoncini and Italian seasoning to the skillet, stirring to mix well.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
