Instructions
-
Prepare Chicken:
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. -
Cook Chicken:
Sear the chicken breasts for about 4–5 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside. -
Sauté Veggies:
In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onion. Cook until softened and browned, about 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook for 1 more minute. -
Deglaze Pan:
Pour in the wine (or broth) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes. -
Make Sauce:
Add chicken broth, cream, grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, and stir to combine. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. -
Add Cheese:
Reduce heat to low and stir in Asiago cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. -
Finish:
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reheat and infuse flavor. -
Serve:
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
Notes
You can substitute Asiago with Parmesan or Romano if needed.
Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and color
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
