Description

Chicken with Creamy Mustard Asiago Sauce combines tender, juicy chicken breasts with a rich and tangy sauce made from Asiago cheese, Dijon mustard, and heavy cream. This quick and effortless gourmet dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy weekend meals, delivering comfort and elegance with familiar, family-friendly flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to ensure flavor and achieve a nice sear.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.
  3. Make the Creamy Mustard Asiago Sauce: Reduce heat to medium, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, stirring to scrape up browned bits. Stir in Dijon mustard and freshly grated Asiago cheese continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld and the chicken absorbs the sauce.

Notes

  • Pat chicken dry to prevent steaming and get a crispy golden crust.
  • Use freshly grated Asiago cheese for a smoother, fresher-tasting sauce.
  • Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juiciness.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or cream; if too thin, simmer longer to thicken.
  • Season the sauce gradually, tasting to balance salt and mustard intensity perfectly.
