Description

Garlic Chicken with Asiago Gravy is a flavorful and hearty dish featuring tender, golden-brown chicken breasts simmered in a creamy Asiago cheese-infused gravy. With aromatic garlic, herbs, and a velvety sauce made from chicken broth, heavy cream, and Asiago cheese, this skillet-cooked meal is perfect for a comforting dinner served alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Ingredients

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

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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 with garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to infuse them with a balanced herb and spice flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
  3. Make the Asiago Gravy – Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, avoiding burning the garlic.
  4. Create the Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the butter and garlic mixture. Whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and form a roux, which will thicken the gravy.
  5. Add Chicken Broth and Simmer: Slowly pour in the chicken broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens into a smooth gravy base.
  6. Incorporate Cream and Asiago Cheese: Lower the heat to low and stir in heavy cream and grated Asiago cheese. Continue whisking until the cheese melts completely and the gravy becomes creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired, and optionally add dried rosemary for extra flavor depth.
  7. Combine Chicken with Gravy: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon Asiago gravy generously over the chicken and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the savory flavors of the gravy.
  8. Serve: Plate the chicken and pour additional Asiago gravy on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete comforting meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • For a thicker gravy, simmer it a bit longer or add slightly more flour when making the roux.
  • Use freshly grated Asiago cheese for the best melting quality and flavor.
  • Adjust garlic quantity to taste for more or less pungency.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be substituted or added for enhanced aroma.
