Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Asiago cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Lightly coat the chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and mostly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Gradually stir in the shredded Asiago cheese until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top of each piece. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Asiago over pasta, rice, or alongside roasted vegetables.
