Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by pounding the boneless skinless chicken breasts under plastic wrap until they reach an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Slice into serving pieces.
  2. In a deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Dredge the chicken pieces in seasoned flour and sauté in the hot skillet for approximately 5 minutes per side.
  4. Remove chicken and add mushrooms and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until browned and tender.
  5. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of dry white wine and deglaze the skillet, then add thyme.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, cover, and let simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  7. Remove chicken and stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/3 cup of shredded asiago cheese; let simmer for 3–5 minutes.
  8. Simmer the sauce until it thickens, then return chicken and let it absorb flavors.
  9. Plate the Mushroom Asiago Chicken, garnishing with fresh thyme sprigs.

Notes

Ensure uniform thickness of chicken pieces for even cooking. Avoid steaming by keeping the skillet hot before adding chicken. Substitute wine with chicken stock and add vinegar for acidity if desired.
