Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half for a lighter option
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat dry the chicken breasts and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F).
  3. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits before adding heavy cream (or half-and-half), mustard (if using), salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually stir in grated Asiago cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet to coat with sauce and simmer for an additional couple of minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
