Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
- 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed and sauté minced garlic for about a minute. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender.
- Pour in chicken broth while scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then stir in heavy cream and thyme.
