Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) boneless skinless chicken fillets
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup shredded asiago cheese
- 3 tbsps butter
- 1 ½ cups dry white wine
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 cups mushrooms, cut in half
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup flour, for dredging
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp parsley
Instructions
- Preparation: Tenderize chicken fillets between plastic wrap, creating uniform thin pieces. Dust lightly with flour, removing excess carefully.
- Searing: Heat skillet with butter and olive oil over medium temperature. Brown chicken pieces until golden, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Flavor Building: In the same skillet, sauté onion powder, garlic, and mushrooms until caramelized. Deglaze with white wine, scraping browned bits from pan bottom. Return chicken to skillet, sprinkle with parsley.
- Simmering: Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and chicken to cook thoroughly.
- Sauce Creation: Introduce cream to skillet, gradually blending in asiago cheese. Stir continuously over low heat until sauce reaches a smooth, luxurious consistency.
- Finishing: Coat chicken completely in the velvety sauce, ensuring even temperature and thorough coverage. Serve immediately, presenting a harmonious culinary experience.
Notes
- Tenderize Technique: Gently flatten chicken between plastic wrap to ensure even cooking and tender texture, preventing tough meat.
- Flour Coating Tip: Dust chicken lightly with flour, shaking off excess to create a delicate golden crust that locks in moisture and adds subtle flavor.
- Wine Deglazing Trick: Use white wine to lift browned bits from the pan, enhancing the sauce’s depth and complexity with concentrated flavor compounds.
- Cheese Melting Secret: Incorporate asiago cheese gradually over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent separation and achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
