Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper if using.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Set chicken aside.
In the same pan, add more butter if needed and sauté mushrooms until browned.
Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
Stir in heavy cream, Asiago cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Return chicken to the pan and spoon sauce over each piece. Simmer together for another 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.

Notes

Asiago cheese can be substituted with Parmesan or Pecorino Romano.

Add spinach or kale when adding the cream for extra freshness.

For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or steamed veggies.

Add a splash of white wine after sautéing mushrooms for more depth.

For a smoky flavor, add smoked paprika or chipotle powder to seasoning.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.

Reheat gently on stovetop with a splash of broth or cream to keep sauce smooth.
