Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and the mushrooms. Sauté until golden and moisture has evaporated, about 6–8 minutes.
5. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Stir in Dijon mustard and chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
7. Pour in heavy cream and simmer for another 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
8. Reduce heat to low and stir in grated Asiago cheese until melted and smooth.
9. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer gently for 2 more minutes.
10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For extra richness, add a splash more cream or an extra sprinkle of cheese before serving.
To make it lower in carbs, serve over steamed veggies or cauliflower mash.
