Creamy Mushroom Asiago Chicken
This delightful recipe combines tender chicken breasts with a rich and luscious mushroom sauce, topped off with the nutty flavor of Asiago cheese. It's an easy, quick-cooking dish that can turn a regular weeknight dinner into something special.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms white or cremini
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they're tender and beginning to brown.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the grated Asiago cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
- Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over it. Allow it to simmer for a few more minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately!
