Instructions
Creating the Creamy Banana Pepper Chicken Skillet is simple and can be done in just a few steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather and chop all the ingredients to save time while cooking.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add Banana Peppers: Stir in the sliced banana peppers and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
6. Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the Italian seasoning and bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
