  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts Chicken is the main protein for this dish.
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button) Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing the chicken.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Adds flavor to the sauce.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Creaminess comes from heavy cream.

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
Preparing the Sauce
  1. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate to rest.
  2. In the same skillet, toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they’re tender.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and add the Dijon mustard, stirring well.
  5. Sprinkle in the grated Asiago cheese and stir until everything is combined and a luscious sauce forms.
Combining and Serving
  1. Return the chicken to the skillet, smother it in the creamy sauce, and let it cook for a couple of minutes.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides like garlic bread or a green salad.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine after sautéing the mushrooms. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to loosen it up. Feel free to sneak in some spinach or kale for added nutrition.
