Creamy Asiago Chicken
Description
This dish starts by flattening boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness for quick, uniform cooking. The chicken is dredged in a seasoned flour mixture then browned in butter and olive oil until cooked through. The pan sauce builds from sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and shallots, with dried thyme adding herbal notes. Deglazed with dry white wine, the sauce incorporates heavy cream and Asiago cheese, which melts to create a creamy, cheesy coating that clings to the chicken pieces.
The mushrooms contribute earthiness complementing the rich Asiago cream sauce. The simmering process thickens the sauce while allowing chicken to reheat and absorb the flavors. This recipe works well served alongside vegetables, rice, or pasta to complement the creamy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2-3 chicken breast large, boneless skinless
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms , sliced
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 shallot thinly sliced, large
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 1/2 cups dry white wine or champagne
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup Asiago cheese , shredded
Instructions
- Place chicken breast between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap. Pound each breast with the flat side of a meat mallet until approximately 1/2 inch thick.Cut each in half to make them more manageable.
- Combine flour with fine sea salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder. Dredge all chicken in flour mixture and set aside.
- Heat butter and olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches, brown chicken on each side until fully cooked, approximately 3-4 minutes per minutes.
- Set aside, leaving all the browned bits in the pan. There should still be a little residual butter or oil in the pan. If not, add an additional tablespoon of butter.
- Add mushrooms, garlic and shallot, sauteing until mushrooms shrink in size and shallots soften.
- Add dried thyme, dry white wine and heavy cream over medium heat.
- When hot, add shredded asiago cheese, stirring until it thickens and fully combines.
- Add chicken back to the mixture, coating and reheating for 2 minutes.
