Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Mushrooms

  • 8 oz fresh button or cremini mushrooms, sliced

Cheese & Dairy

  • 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Oils & Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Herbs

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and turn golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  3. Create the Asiago Cream Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the mushrooms. Sprinkle in the grated Asiago cheese and gently stir until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts completely.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Let everything simmer together for a few minutes so the chicken soaks up the sauce flavors. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Let the chicken rest briefly after cooking to retain juices and ensure tender bites.
  • Grate Asiago cheese fresh for better melting and improved flavor over pre-shredded varieties.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms to allow even browning and maximum flavor.
  • Add cream gradually to adjust sauce thickness to your preference.
  • Add parsley or thyme last to brighten the dish and balance richness.
