Description

A creamy chicken dish cooked in one skillet with vibrant banana peppers that add tang and crunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup banana pepper rings
  • 1 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and banana pepper rings, sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the peppers soften.
