Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the roasted red peppers to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce and peppers over the top. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve the chicken with roasted red pepper sauce over rice, pasta, or alongside a crusty piece of bread for a complete meal.
