Description

Skillet Asiago chicken and mushrooms bring creamy Italian comfort to weeknight dinners. Savory chicken and earthy mushrooms create a rich, cheesy experience you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cheese and Dairy:

  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) Asiago cheese, grated
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter

Vegetables and Seasonings:

  • 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other:

  • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Generously coat chicken breasts with a blend of salt, pepper, and fragrant thyme, ensuring even seasoning.
  2. Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat, creating a sizzling surface for perfect searing.
  3. Carefully place seasoned chicken into the hot skillet, cooking approximately 5-7 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust develops and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate, keeping warm and preserving its juiciness.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter and introduce sliced mushrooms, allowing them to caramelize and develop rich, deep flavors for 4-5 minutes.
  6. Add minced garlic to the mushrooms, stirring continuously for about one minute to release its aromatic essence without burning.
  7. Stream chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet, whisking gently to create a harmonious sauce that gradually thickens over 3-4 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle grated Asiago cheese into the simmering sauce, stirring until completely melted and achieving a silky, smooth consistency.
  9. Gently return chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them luxuriously with the creamy Asiago sauce and warming through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  10. Finish the dish by scattering freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and fresh herbaceous flavor, then serve immediately with your preferred accompaniment.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness for consistent cooking and preventing dry edges.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption without overcooking.
  • Swap heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt for a lighter, lower-calorie version of the sauce.
  • Select fresh, firm mushrooms and slice them uniformly to guarantee even browning and consistent texture throughout the dish.
