Instructions

Season the Chicken: Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender.
Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to low, add heavy cream, grated Asiago cheese, and Italian herbs. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Return the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet and let them soak in the sauce for 2–3 minutes.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Add fresh thyme or rosemary for extra aromatic flavor.

Incorporate steamed broccoli for extra texture and color.

For a citrusy twist, add lemon zest to the sauce.

Feel free to swap Asiago with Gruyère, Parmesan, or sharp cheddar for different flavor profiles.
