Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Asiago Gravy

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to build a flavorful base for the dish.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  3. Make the Asiago Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, careful not to burn it.
  4. Create the Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the melted butter and garlic, whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes. This step cooks out the raw flour taste and creates a thickening base for the gravy.
  5. Add Chicken Broth: Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken.
  6. Finish the Gravy: Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Asiago cheese. Whisk until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Optionally, add dried rosemary to enhance flavor.
  7. Combine Chicken and Gravy: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some Asiago gravy over the top, and let them simmer gently in the sauce for about 5 minutes. This allows the chicken to absorb the delicious flavors of the gravy.
  8. Serve: Plate the chicken breasts, spoon generous portions of Asiago gravy over them, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding chicken to achieve a good sear and avoid sticking.
  • Be careful not to burn the garlic while sautéing; it should be fragrant but not browned.
  • The optional dried rosemary adds a nice herbal touch but can be omitted if preferred.
  • If the gravy is too thick, thin it with a bit more chicken broth or cream to reach desired consistency.
  • Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
