Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oil or butter
- 4 (6-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup asiago cheese, grated
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 4–6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add mushrooms and onions to the same skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in garlic and thyme, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Deglaze Pan: Pour in wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
- Create the Sauce: Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, grainy mustard, and dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated asiago cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Asiago cheese adds a nutty flavor, but you can substitute Parmesan or Gruyère for a different twist.
- Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or over pasta for a complete meal.
- For added richness, finish with a drizzle of truffle oil.
