Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Asiago Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in flour to create a roux, cooking for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, followed by heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir in Asiago cheese and Italian seasoning until smooth and thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Combine and Simmer: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning gravy over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes to absorb flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice to soak up the gravy.
- For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the sauce.
- Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream.
