Equipment
- 1 large frying pan

- 2 cutting board one for the chicken, one of the vegetables (garlic, onions, etc.)
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts sliced thin
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil

- 2 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup roasted red peppers chopped

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and place the chicken breasts into the oil to pan sear. Season with salt and pepper as the chicken cooks. Sear on each side for 5-6 minutes or until fully cooked. Once cooked, remove from the pan on a paper towel lined plate.

- Add in the heavy cream and chicken back into the skillet. Turn the heat to a medium-low flame.
- To the creamy chicken, add in the red peppers and stir to combine. Lower the flame to simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes.
- Season with an additional salt and pepper sprinkling and serve as desired.
Notes
If you are dairy free, simply use almond milk or coconut cream to replace the heavy cream.
