Instructions

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 5–6 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Cook 6–8 minutes until caramelized. Add garlic and thyme and cook 30 seconds.

4. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer 2–3 minutes.

5. Reduce heat to low and whisk in Asiago cheese until smooth. Simmer until slightly thickened.

6. Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce over top, cover, and simmer 5–7 minutes until cooked through (165°F internal temp).

7. Adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Use freshly grated Asiago cheese for the smoothest sauce.

Do not rush the chicken sear — golden color builds deep flavor.

If the sauce thickens too much, loosen it with a splash of broth or cream.
