CREAMY ASIAGO CHICKEN
Creamy Asiago Chicken is a rich, cheesy, and flavourful dinner dish made with juicy chicken breasts smothered in a garlic Asiago cream sauce. It's perfect for a comforting weeknight meal or an elegant dinner with guests.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Sauce:
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup grated Asiago cheese
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the Chicken:
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in cream and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in Asiago cheese, red pepper flakes (if using), and Italian seasoning. Simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
Combine:
- Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
Make Ahead:
The sauce can be made in advance and reheated gently. Add extra broth or cream to thin if needed. Add-Ins:
Try adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavour and texture. Serving Suggestions:
Delicious over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with roasted vegetables. Storage Tips:
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
