Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté mushrooms until golden and tender.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream, grated Asiago, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard.
  7. Simmer gently until sauce begins to thicken.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top.
  9. Cover and simmer for 8–10 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and sauce is creamy.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute Parmesan or Gruyère if Asiago is unavailable.
  • Add spinach to the sauce for extra color and nutrition.
  • Use half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Add a splash of white wine before the broth for deeper flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream to maintain sauce texture.
