Learn how to make delicious Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Skillet. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jar (12 oz) roasted red peppers, drained and sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Feel free to substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version, or use boneless thighs if you prefer dark meat. The choice is yours!

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the roasted red peppers to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet for extra flavor.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, paprika, and oregano. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them heat through for another 5 minutes.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle the dish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese. If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

And just like that, you’ve turned simple ingredients into a masterpiece! Remember, cooking is as much about intuition as it is about instruction. Don’t be afraid to adjust seasonings to your taste.
