This Mushroom Asiago Chicken comes together in about 30 minutes and is made entirely in one pot, making it a perfect weeknight dinner that your family will love! Switch up the mushrooms or protein to suit your taste or use it as a great opportunity to clean out the fridge and get rid of those odds and ends! Seriously, whether it’s a busy Tuesday night or the end of the week, you’ll want to have this on speed dial!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (don’t skimp on this, trust me)
• 1 lb mushrooms (sliced white or cremini work beautifully)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced – and fresh is best!)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (you can also use homemade!)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (for that creamy texture)
• 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese (the star of this show)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh thyme if you have it)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, but let’s spice things up!)
• Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. First up, let’s season those chicken breasts with a couple pinches of salt and black pepper on both sides—this is where the flavor starts, folks!
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown—this locks in so much flavor. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside; it’s going to make a glorious return soon!
3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes until they’re beautifully brown and tender. The scent of the mushrooms sautéing in butter? Pure heaven!
4. Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant, which will take about 30 seconds. This is the moment when you may find yourself dreaming about what you want for dessert later!
5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan, bringing all those delectable flavors back into play.
6. Add heavy cream, Asiago cheese, thyme, and if you’re feeling adventurous, toss in those red pepper flakes. Bring this luscious mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat—let’s thicken it up just a bit.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through (remember, the internal temperature needs to reach at least 165°F).
8. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve it over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can’t go wrong here!
