  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the baking dish.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms with minced garlic until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth; simmer for 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in half of the grated Asiago cheese until melted.
  5. Pour the mushroom sauce over the seasoned chicken and sprinkle the remaining Asiago on top.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). Remove foil for the last 5 minutes to brown the top.
