Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

3/4 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese

1/2 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add chicken and sear 5–6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sliced mushrooms.

5. Sauté mushrooms undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir and cook until softened, about 5–6 minutes total.

6. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

7. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes.

8. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

9. Reduce heat to low and stir in grated Asiago cheese until melted and smooth.

10. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over top, and let simmer 2–3 minutes to heat through.

11. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Let the chicken rest a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

For a thinner sauce, add more broth or a splash of milk.

Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor—pre-shredded cheese may clump.
