Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs Breasts can be used as a substitute.
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced Button or cremini mushrooms work well.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a lighter option, half-and-half can be used.
  • ½ cup Asiago cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard Adds a delightful kick.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan. Sear until browned, about 4-5 minutes each side. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, toss in the garlic and sauté for about a minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they're tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, scraping any delicious bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it begins to thicken.
  4. Reduce heat to low, and whisk in the Dijon mustard and grated Asiago cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.
  5. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Dijon mustard and olive oil for an hour before cooking. This sauce works well over pasta or rice.
