Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Sauce

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley), chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook each side for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Create the Asiago sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet, sautéing just until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to deglaze the pan and mix in browned bits. Slowly whisk in grated Asiago cheese until smooth and creamy. Let sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
  3. Combine chicken and sauce: Return cooked chicken breasts to skillet, spoon creamy Asiago sauce over them. Let simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes so flavors meld.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs like parsley or thyme on top for color and fresh flavor before plating.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure perfect searing instead of steaming the chicken.
  • Grate Asiago cheese fresh for optimal melt and flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce gently over low heat to prevent curdling.
  • If sauce thickens too much, add extra chicken broth or cream to adjust consistency.
  • Allow chicken to rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
