How to Make Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Skillet Chicken

  1. Sauté the chicken in a large skillet (scroll down to see how to cook chicken on a skillet.) Then take it out so you can use the skillet and juices to make a quick creamy pan sauce.
  2. Then sauté the onions and garlic, and add finely diced roasted red peppers, cream cheese, crushed red pepper, and a little chicken stock to thin it out.
  3. Once the sauce is ready,  place the chicken back in the skillet to warm and stir in some fresh basil for sweetness.

Voila!
