 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil or butter

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each), pounded thin

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

• 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream

• 1 tablespoon grainy mustard

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese

 Instructions

1. Sear the chicken

   Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear for 4–6 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the vegetables

   In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onions. Sauté for about 8–10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

3. Add aromatics

   Stir in the garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Deglaze the pan

   Pour in the white wine or chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

5. Make the sauce

   Add the remaining chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in the grainy mustard and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.

6. Return the chicken

   Place the chicken back into the skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.

7. Finish with cheese

   Turn off the heat and stir in the grated Asiago cheese. Let it melt into the sauce until smooth and creamy.

8. Serve

   Serve hot, optionally with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

 Conclusion

This creamy chicken and mushroom skillet with Asiago and mustard is a rich, comforting dish packed with layers of flavor. The combination of tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and a tangy, cheesy sauce makes every bite satisfying.
