  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and tender.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Then, stir in the heavy cream and grated Asiago cheese. Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and let everything simmer together for 3–4 minutes to blend the flavors.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Try swapping Asiago with Parmesan or Gruyère, or stir in spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. A splash of white wine in the sauce also adds depth. Great with pasta, mashed potatoes, or zucchini noodles.
