Description
Mushroom Asiago Chicken is a creamy, comforting dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich Asiago cheese sauce with sautéed mushrooms and garlic. This restaurant-quality meal comes together in just 45 minutes, making it perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Asiago cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Gradually stir in the grated Asiago cheese until fully melted and smooth.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 2–3 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts; adjust cooking time accordingly.
Parmesan or Romano cheese can replace Asiago if needed.
For a lighter sauce, replace part of the cream with chicken broth.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk to maintain sauce consistency.
Cream-based sauces may slightly change texture if frozen and reheated.
