Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in chicken broth and cream until the mixture is smooth.
- Add Asiago cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese is melted and sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the gravy. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes to reheat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot over pasta, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Asiago for best melting and flavor.
- You can substitute Parmesan or Romano cheese if Asiago is unavailable.
- For extra richness, add a splash of white wine before the broth.
