  • Cuisine: Italian-Inspired, American

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup Asiago cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 6–7 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Lower heat, stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes if using. Add Asiago cheese and stir until melted and sauce is slightly thickened.
  7. Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over it. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Replace part of the Asiago with Parmesan or Romano for a sharper profile.
  • Add spinach at the end for extra nutrition and color.
  • A splash of lemon juice can brighten the dish.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or bread to soak up the sauce.
