For the Chicken
  • 2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Chicken thighs can be used for more flavor.

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Half-and-half can lighten it up.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut the chicken into serving-sized pieces.
  2. In a deep skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Dredge each piece of chicken in seasoned flour and sauté for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, sauté for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Pour in dry white wine, scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer and add bruised thyme.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove chicken and pour in heavy cream and shredded asiago cheese. Stir until cheese melts and sauce thickens.
  7. Return chicken to skillet to coat with sauce, heat through briefly, and serve.
