Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup asiago cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken in the skillet for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the grated asiago cheese and cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the creamy sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the creamy asiago chicken over pasta, rice, or with a side of vegetables. Enjoy!
Notes
- ou can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, though it will be less rich.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer to reduce, or add a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water).
- This dish pairs wonderfully with garlic bread, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
