Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden-brown and 165°F internally. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the sliced pepperoncini and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and ½ cup of heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to soak up the sauce for another minute. Adjust seasoning and serve hot.
