Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, approximately 4 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow it to simmer gently until it thickens slightly. Add in the grated Asiago cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the mushroom sauce over them to coat thoroughly.
- Transfer everything into your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
- Plate the chicken and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Pair with pasta or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
