Cooking Steps
  1. Melt the Butter: In a large heavy pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it's bubbly and fragrant.
  2. Brown the Chicken: Season the chicken tenders with sea salt and black pepper, add to the hot pan, and brown on all sides for about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Sauté the Onions: In the same pan, add diced white onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
  4. Add Garlic and Peppers: Stir in diced garlic and roasted red peppers, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the Stock: Pour in chicken stock and add drained pepperoncini peppers, bringing to a simmer for about 3 minutes.
  6. Return the Chicken: Return the browned chicken to the pan, coating it well with the simmering broth.
  7. Incorporate Cream and Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until creamy and smooth.
  8. Thicken the Sauce: Return the pan to heat, bringing the sauce to a gentle boil and simmering for about 4 minutes until thickened.
