Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and fragrant.
  4. Pour in the dry white wine (or chicken stock), scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for a few minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Asiago cheese, mixing until creamy and combined.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired, and serve!

Notes

Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness in the cream sauce. Feel free to include other vegetables like spinach or peas for added nutrition. Serve over pasta or rice to soak up the delicious sauce perfectly.
