Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the chicken
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Sauté until they’re golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any delicious bits off the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, then bring it all to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, and mix in the shredded Asiago cheese. Stir until it’s all melted and creamy.
  5. Toss the chicken back into the skillet, letting it bask in that creamy sauce for a couple of minutes.
  6. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top before serving.

Notes

Don’t rush the chicken; ensure they are well-cooked and have a perfect golden-brown exterior. Variations can include adding your favorite veggies like spinach or bell peppers.
