Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless, pounded to an even thickness
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup roasted red peppers chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth low sodium
- ¾ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until each side is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- In a blender, combine the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, cook the minced garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour the blended roasted pepper sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it with a little more chicken broth. Simmer until the sauce has thickened to your liking, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for a few minutes to reheat and absorb the flavors. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over rice.

Notes
- Customize the Spice Level: Adjust the amount of smoked paprika and consider adding red pepper flakes to tailor the heat to your liking.
- Substitute with Thighs: Feel free to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result; just slightly increase the cooking time.
- Garnish Options: Enhance the dish with additional garnishes like shaved Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra zest.
- Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread, rice, or pasta to absorb the creamy sauce.
