Delicious Asiago Cream Chicken

Featured in Chicken dishes that always work.

This creamy Asiago chicken recipe transforms basic chicken breasts into a restaurant-level dish. The magic happens in the sauce, which is rich, smooth, and blends melted Asiago cheese with sautéed mushrooms and a splash of white wine. Flattening the chicken helps cook it evenly, keeping it tender, and dusting it with flour creates a golden crust to seal in the juices. Earthy mushrooms pair beautifully with the creamy sauce, while garlic adds a gentle aromatic touch. This simple yet elegant dish will wow your guests and is easy enough for a weeknight dinner.

Creamy Asiago Chicken is a delightful combination of tender chicken breast elevated by a rich, velvety sauce. This recipe transforms simple ingredients into an impressive dish, where smooth cream perfectly balances the complex, salty notes of Asiago cheese, creating a luxurious sauce that coats each piece of chicken.

This dish quickly became a staple in my kitchen after receiving countless compliments at a dinner party. It's now my go-to recipe for special occasions, never failing to impress guests.

Essential Ingredients and Selection Tips

  • Chicken breasts: Select fresh, firm pieces, preferably free-range for optimal flavor
  • Asiago cheese: Choose fresh rather than aged Asiago for smooth melting and balanced taste
  • Heavy cream: Use cream with at least 30% fat content for a stable, silky sauce
  • Mushrooms: Fresh button mushrooms are preferred over canned for better texture and flavor
  • Garlic: Pick firm, aromatic cloves for maximum flavor impact
  • White wine: Chardonnay or Chablis adds subtle fruit notes to the sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

1.
Begin by carefully preparing the chicken breasts. Gently pound between plastic wrap, working from center outward for even thickness without tearing.
2.
Season flour generously with salt and pepper. Coat chicken pieces evenly, tapping off excess to prevent burning during cooking.
3.
Heat pan until butter foams slightly. Place chicken pieces without crowding, allowing them to develop a golden crust before moving.
4.
For the sauce, start by properly caramelizing mushrooms. Allow them to brown thoroughly over medium-high heat, adding garlic near the end.
5.
Deglaze with warm white wine, scraping browned bits from pan bottom with wooden spatula to incorporate all flavors.
6.
Add cheese gradually over low heat, stirring constantly until sauce becomes smooth and glossy.

Temperature control is crucial throughout preparation. Too high heat can break the sauce, while insufficient heat won't develop proper flavors.

In our household, we particularly enjoy serving this dish over fresh linguine, which perfectly captures the creamy sauce.

Perfect sauce consistency is achieved through patience and attention to detail. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon and hold a clean line when tested.

Ingredients

→ For the chicken

01 500 g of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 1 teaspoon of black pepper
03 1/2 cup of flour
04 1 teaspoon of salt

→ For the sauce

05 1/2 cup of heavy cream
06 1 teaspoon of parsley
07 2 cups of mushrooms, halved
08 1 teaspoon of onion powder
09 2 cloves of garlic, minced
10 1/2 cup of shredded Asiago cheese
11 1 1/2 cups of dry white wine

→ Fats

12 3 tablespoons of butter
13 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

Step 01

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten them out until they’re about 0.5 cm thick. Slice each breast into 3 pieces.

Step 02

Dredge the chicken pieces in flour and set them aside.

Step 03

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a large deep pan. Add the floured chicken and cook until both sides are golden brown (about 4 minutes each). Take the chicken out and set it aside.

Step 04

In the same pan, toss in the rest of the olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, and onion powder. Cook them till the mushrooms start to brown.

Step 05

Pour the white wine into the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Put the chicken back into the pan, sprinkle on the parsley, bring it to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.

Step 06

Once more, remove the chicken and keep it aside. Stir in the heavy cream and gently heat it. Add in the grated Asiago cheese, stirring constantly on low heat until the cheese completely melts, and the sauce thickens up.

Step 07

Return the chicken to the pan, warm it up, and serve right away. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  1. Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days
  2. Reheat the sauce gently over low heat
