Creamy Mushroom Asiago Chicken with a Savory Herb Sauce

The Asiago cheese adds a sharp, savory depth that balances perfectly with the tender mushrooms and fragrant garlic. The dish is as delicious as it is comforting, making it an excellent choice for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

  1. Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)

For the Mushroom Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and browned.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the white wine (if using) and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine reduce for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  7. Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and grated Asiago cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 3-4 minutes to heat through.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
