# How to Prepare:
01 -
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear. Season thoroughly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, coating all sides evenly.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and an internal temperature of 75°C is reached. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits for enhanced flavour. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then gradually incorporate grated Asiago cheese, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and fully melted.
04 -
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce generously over each. Simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to thoroughly coat the chicken and ensure it is heated through. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve promptly.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For best results, bring chicken to room temperature before cooking to promote even doneness.
