Mushroom Asiago Chicken is a savory, creamy dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich mushroom sauce with the sharpness of Asiago cheese.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Asiago cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and add them to the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, making sure to scrape up any bits left from the chicken.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to let it thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the grated Asiago cheese, and continue to simmer until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
  7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or use a lower-fat cheese.
  • If desired, add fresh thyme or rosemary while simmering the sauce for extra flavor.
