Ingredients
Scale
Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to success in the kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need for my creamy Asiago chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
These ingredients are easy to find, and I love how they come together to create a creamy sauce that envelops the chicken in a comforting embrace. You can even involve your kids in the prep; my son loves sprinkling cheese!
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove chicken and sauté minced garlic in the skillet for 1 minute.
- Add heavy cream, bringing to a gentle simmer, then stir in Asiago cheese and Italian herbs until melted.
- Return chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with pasta or salad.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken for an hour before cooking.
- This dish can be served with a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
