Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 oz cremini or baby bella mushrooms sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
0.5 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup freshly grated asiago cheese
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
1. Butterfly or slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create four thinner cutlets. Pat dry, season with salt and pepper, and dredge lightly in flour.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium-high. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until browned. Add garlic and thyme; cook 30 seconds more.
4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping the bottom to lift browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
5. Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, asiago cheese, and mustard. Simmer 3–5 minutes until smooth and creamy.
6. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over, and simmer 2–3 minutes more.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite side.
Notes
Use freshly grated asiago for a smoother, meltier sauce—pre-shredded may clump.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of broth or cream to thin it out.
Avoid overheating the sauce once the cheese is added to prevent separation.
