Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil or butter
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6 ounces 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 cream
• 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese

Directions

1. Season the chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the chicken

Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.

3. Cook the mushrooms and onion

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and the onion is softened.

4. Add the garlic and thyme

Stir in the chopped garlic and fresh thyme. Cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

5. Deglaze the skillet

Pour in the white wine or chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Make the sauce

Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, grainy mustard, and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and let the sauce simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Add the Asiago

Stir in the grated Asiago cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy and slightly thickened.

8. Return the chicken to the skillet

Place the chicken back into the skillet and spoon some of the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Let it simmer for another 4 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and coated in the sauce.

9. Serve warm

Serve immediately with the creamy mushroom sauce spooned generously over each piece of chicken.

Tips for the Best Chicken and Mushroom Skillet in Creamy Asiago Mustard Sauce

Pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness helps them cook faster and more evenly. Use freshly grated Asiago for the smoothest sauce and best flavor. If the sauce thickens too much, add a small splash of broth to loosen it. For a deeper flavor, let the mushrooms brown well before adding the liquid ingredients.
