Creamy Chicken and Pepper Skillet

How to make it

1. 1

   Start by cutting your chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. If you like, you can sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper at this stage.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your chicken pieces and cook them until they are nicely browned on all sides and cooked through. This should take about 6 to 8 minutes.

3. 3

   While the chicken is cooking, chop your green bell pepper into small pieces and mince your garlic cloves. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

4. 4

   Add the chopped bell pepper and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper starts to soften and the garlic becomes fragrant.

5. 5

   Now, it is time for the creamy goodness! Stir in the softened cream cheese and the can of undrained diced tomatoes. Keep stirring gently until the cream cheese melts and creates a lovely sauce. Bring it to a gentle simmer.

6. 6

   Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir everything together, making sure the chicken is well coated in the delicious creamy tomato sauce. Let it simmer for just a couple more minutes to let the flavors meld.

7. 7

   Serve your fantastic Creamy Chicken and Pepper Skillet hot and enjoy! It is wonderful on its own or with a simple side salad.
