Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) boneless skinless chicken fillets
Dairy and Cheese:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded asiago cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
Herbs, Spices, and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley
Vegetables:
- 2 cups mushrooms, cut in half
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids:
- 1 ½ cups dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Flour:
- ½ cup flour, for dredging
Instructions
- Gently tenderize chicken fillets between plastic wrap, flattening to an even, thin profile. Slice each breast into three uniform portions, then delicately coat with a light dusting of flour, carefully removing excess.
- Warm a skillet with a blend of butter and olive oil over medium temperature. Carefully place flour-coated chicken pieces, allowing each side to transform into a rich golden hue, approximately 4 minutes per surface. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate.
- Utilize the same skillet, introducing remaining olive oil, onion powder, fragrant garlic, and earthy mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms develop a beautiful caramelized exterior.
- Splash white wine into the skillet, using a spatula to lift and incorporate the delectable browned remnants from the pan’s bottom. Reintroduce chicken pieces, sprinkling with fresh parsley. Elevate heat to create a gentle boil, then reduce and allow ingredients to simmer, covered, for roughly 15 minutes.
- Pour cream into the skillet, gently warming the liquid. Progressively incorporate asiago cheese, stirring consistently over low heat until the sauce reaches a luxurious, velvety consistency.
- Reunite chicken with the decadent sauce, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated and reheated. Present immediately, inviting diners to savor the harmonious blend of flavors.
Notes
- Tenderize chicken to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
- Dredging in flour creates a delicate golden crust that seals in moisture and adds rich texture.
- Use medium heat when sautéing to prevent burning and achieve perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Deglazing with white wine releases delicious caramelized bits, enhancing the overall sauce depth.
- Melt asiago cheese slowly and gently to prevent separation and maintain smooth, creamy consistency.
- Letting chicken simmer in sauce allows flavors to meld together for a more sophisticated taste profile.
