Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 chicken breasts
Cheese:
- 1/2 cup asiago cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 8 ounces (227 grams) mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Sear marinated chicken breasts in hot olive oil until a rich, caramelized exterior develops and the meat turns golden brown, creating a flavorful base for the dish.
- Transfer the perfectly browned chicken to a plate, leaving behind the delectable pan drippings for enhancing the mushroom sauté.
- In the same skillet, introduce minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, allowing them to release their natural moisture and caramelize, developing a deep, earthy aroma.
- Pour chicken broth into the skillet, creating a savory liquid environment that will help tenderize and infuse flavor into the chicken.
- Gently nestle the reserved chicken pieces back into the mushroom-infused broth, ensuring even coating and consistent cooking temperature.
- Generously sprinkle Asiago cheese over the chicken, letting it gradually melt and create a luxurious, creamy blanket that envelops the meat and mushrooms.
- Continue simmering until the chicken reaches optimal internal temperature and the cheese transforms into a silky, bubbling sauce.
- Finish the dish by scattering freshly chopped parsley across the surface, adding a bright, herbaceous note and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and the chicken remains succulent and tender.
Notes
- Slice chicken breasts evenly to ensure uniform cooking and prevent dry or undercooked spots.
- Use fresh, high-quality Asiago cheese for a richer, more authentic flavor profile that elevates the entire dish.
- Consider using low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels and let the Asiago cheese provide natural seasoning.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional chicken broth with a certified gluten-free alternative and verify all ingredient labels.
