  • 1 tablespoon butter Opt for unsalted for better flavor control
  • 8 ounces mushrooms Cremini or button mushrooms work beautifully
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine Can swap with chicken broth for non-alcoholic option
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme Dried thyme can replace it in a pinch (use 1/3 amount)
  • 1 cup heavy cream Half-and-half can be used as a lighter option
  • 1 cup Asiago cheese Substitute with Parmesan if needed
  • 1 tablespoon instant flour or cornstarch Optional for thickening

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch, ensuring even cooking. Cut into serving-sized pieces.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine seasoned flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken, ensuring even coating.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and sauté for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and sauté sliced mushrooms and minced garlic for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Pour in white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits and simmering with thyme for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return sautéed chicken to the skillet, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Once chicken is cooked, remove from skillet and stir in heavy cream. Add grated Asiago cheese and stir until melted.
  8. Optional: Mix instant flour or cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir into the sauce until desired thickness is achieved.
  9. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and heat gently for a minute before serving. Garnish with thyme if desired.
