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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in the baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms with minced garlic until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Pour the mushroom sauce over the seasoned chicken and sprinkle the remaining Asiago on top.
- 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.
