Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the Asiago cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Simmer for 5 more minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Warm over low heat, stirring occasionally to maintain the creamy texture.
- Substitutions: Swap Asiago cheese with Parmesan or Gruyère for a different flavor.
