Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, pounded to an even thickness)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup roasted red peppers (chopped)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until each side is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Prepare the sauce: In a blender, combine the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
- Cook the sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, cook the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Pour the blended roasted pepper sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little more chicken broth. Simmer until the sauce has thickened to your liking, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to reheat and absorb the flavors. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over rice.
