Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into thin strips. Cut the pepperoncini peppers into rings and grate the Parmesan cheese until you have about 1 ounce.
- Cut and Season the Chicken: Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into approximately 1/2-inch thick pieces. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Brown the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, add half of the seasoned chicken pieces, and cook for about 6 minutes until golden brown. Remove and repeat with the remaining pieces.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, sliced red bell pepper, onion, kosher salt, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Sauté for about 2 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Create the Flavor-Infused Broth: Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and allow it to simmer, scraping up any browned bits and reducing by half for about 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the Creamy Elements: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream, allowing to simmer for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken and add sliced pepperoncini. Toss gently to coat the chicken in the creamy sauce and let it simmer for another minute before serving.

Notes
Ensure even slicing of chicken for uniform cooking and adjust the sauce consistency with chicken broth if necessary.
