Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breasts, sliced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (baby bella or white mushrooms work great!)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Asiago cheese, grated (for that nutty, tangy flavor)
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
Olive oil for sautéing
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Heat Olive Oil & Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set aside.
2. Sauté Mushrooms & Garlic: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and golden, releasing their delicious flavors.
3. Create Creamy Asiago Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the Dijon mustard and grated Asiago cheese. Cook, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
4. Combine & Season: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing well to coat it in the Asiago sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Serve your Creamy Skillet Chicken with Mushrooms hot over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley if desired.
Tips for Best Flavor:
Use freshly grated Asiago cheese for maximum creaminess.
Serve with crusty bread to mop up every drop of that luscious sauce!
