Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken fillets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauce
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken, ensuring the oil is hot enough for a good sear.
- Season and cook the chicken: Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Add them to the hot skillet, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
- Set chicken aside: Remove the cooked chicken fillets from the skillet and set them aside to keep warm while making the sauce.
- Sauté garlic and mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms become tender and aromatic, absorbing the flavors from the chicken and oil.
- Add cream and simmer: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the cream to warm and begin to thicken slightly.
- Incorporate Asiago cheese: Add the shredded Asiago cheese to the cream and mushroom mixture, stirring continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- Combine chicken and sauce: Return the chicken fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom and Asiago sauce over them to coat evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the finished dish for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, simmer the cream a little longer before adding the cheese.
- You can substitute Asiago with Parmesan if Asiago is unavailable.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets for best results.
- Serve this dish alongside steamed vegetables or crusty bread to complete the meal.
- To make it lower fat, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
