Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts (filleted into 6 pieces)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 jar roasted red peppers (12 ounces, drained and diced)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chicken, season with the salt and pepper and brown on both sides (4-6 minutes on each side). When those are brown on both sides, remove from the pan on a separate plate.
- Then add the garlic, red peppers and broth to the pan. Sauté on medium heat until the peppers are tender (approximately 5-6 minutes).
- Then stir in the heavy whipping cream and parmesan cheese. Reduce the heat to low to simmer. Whisk and cook until the cheese is melted and combined (2-3 minutes).
- Add the chicken to the pan, simmer for a few minutes to bring the chicken back to a warm temperature.
- Then remove from heat and enjoy!

Notes
- Store the leftover chicken in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
- Make sure to use the grated parmesan cheese instead of shredded as it melts more evenly. If your sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth until it's the consistency that you prefer.
