Preparation
  1. Season your chicken thighs with salt and pepper, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Transfer the seared chicken to a plate and cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  5. Stir in sliced pepperoncini peppers along with their juice, letting them mingle with the onions for another minute.
  6. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens slightly—about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Nestle your browned chicken back into the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Plate your creamy pepperoncini chicken skillet with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and enjoy!
