Ingredients List
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup hot cherry peppers, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the oil is hot.
- Cook the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cherry peppers: Add the sliced hot cherry peppers to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Deglaze the skillet: Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Combine the ingredients: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the cherry peppers. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the dish simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and serve hot.
Notes
- Quality Ingredients: Using fresh and high-quality ingredients enhances the overall taste of the dish.
- Resting Time: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
- Variations: Try substituting the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different take on the dish.
