Skillet Asiago Chicken with Mushrooms


  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

  • Skillet Asiago Chicken with Mushrooms is a creamy, one-pan dish featuring tender chicken breasts in a rich Asiago cheese sauce with sautéed mushrooms and aromatic seasonings—perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter and add sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  4. Add Garlic and Deglaze: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
  5. Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes before adding grated Asiago cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  6. Return Chicken to Skillet: Place the seared chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and parsley. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Cheese Swap – Substitute Asiago with Parmesan, Gruyère, or Romano for a different depth of flavor.
  • Mushroom Options – Try cremini, shiitake, or portobello mushrooms for variety.
  • Low-Carb Version – Serve over cauliflower rice or zoodles instead of pasta.
  • Herb Infusion – Add rosemary or basil for an aromatic twist.
  • Spicy Kick – Increase the red pepper flakes or add cayenne pepper.
