Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced (cremini or button)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and browned.
  4. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the Dijon mustard. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, Asiago cheese, and thyme. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the pan, spoon some sauce over them, and cover. Simmer for 8–10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Sear chicken in batches for better browning
  • Add cheese off-heat for a smooth sauce
  • Use fresh grated Asiago—not pre-shredded—for best melt
  • Deglaze with wine for more depth
  • Stir in spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for variation
  • Don’t overcook cream—low heat preserves texture
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even cooking
  • Pairs well with pasta, bread, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal
