Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Asiago cheese, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to create a smooth sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and Asiago cheese, and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat them. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to heat the chicken through.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Pair with pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
