Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 tongs
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1.5 lbs total
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste none salt
- to taste none pepper
- for garnish none fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Gradually add the grated Asiago cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
You can add vegetables such as spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for added nutrition and flavor.
