Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced or pounded flat

Mushrooms & Aromatics

  • 8 oz fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Dairy & Fats

  • 1 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

Seasonings & Garnish

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts thinly or pound to even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Place chicken in the hot skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms and Garlic: Add more oil or butter if needed. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until mushrooms are browned and tender, and garlic is fragrant, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Make the Creamy Asiago Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in heavy cream or half-and-half, stirring to combine with mushrooms and garlic. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in freshly grated Asiago cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon creamy Asiago mushroom sauce over the chicken. Let warm together for 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature chicken for even cooking and to prevent drying out.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet to ensure proper browning of chicken and mushrooms.
  • Grate Asiago cheese fresh for best melt and flavor.
  • Simmer the cream sauce gently on low heat to avoid curdling and maintain silky texture.
  • Let chicken rest briefly after cooking to keep juices locked in.
