Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
1 cup grated Asiago cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté shallots and garlic until fragrant (about 2 minutes), then add mushrooms; cook until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
Pour in chicken broth; bring to a simmer before stirring in heavy cream. Add half of the Asiago cheese until melted.
Nestle seasoned chicken into the skillet, spooning sauce over top. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Top with remaining Asiago cheese and broil for about 2 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
