Why You’ll Love This Chicken and Mushroom Skillet

This is comfort food with elegance. The combination of sharp Asiago and creamy Dijon mustard creates a sauce that’s flavorful and well-balanced. It’s hearty yet refined, indulgent but not heavy. If you’re tired of basic chicken dishes, this one adds excitement without extra work.

It’s also a one-skillet meal, which means fewer dishes and more time enjoying the evening. Plus, mushrooms bring an earthy depth that plays beautifully with the creamy base and seared chicken.

What Kind of Mushrooms Work Best in This Skillet?

Cremini mushrooms are a go-to here. They hold up well during cooking and have a meatier flavor than white button mushrooms. Baby bellas work just as beautifully. If you’re feeling fancy, a few slices of shiitake or even wild mushrooms will take this dish up a notch.

You’ll want to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise for quicker, even cooking. Mushrooms add earthy flavor, while garlic and Dijon offer aromatics and zing. Asiago cheese melts into the sauce, creating a nutty depth, and heavy cream brings that dreamy richness. Olive oil and butter help build flavor as the chicken cooks, and the broth ties everything together.

How To Make the Chicken and Mushroom Skillet in a Creamy Asiago and Mustard Sauce

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear them in olive oil and butter until golden brown on both sides. Set them aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic

In the same skillet, add a little more butter if needed, and sauté the sliced mushrooms until browned and tender. Stir in minced garlic and cook just until fragrant.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

Add Dijon mustard to the skillet, stirring it into the mushrooms. Pour in chicken broth and let it reduce slightly. Lower the heat, stir in heavy cream, and slowly mix in the grated Asiago cheese until smooth and melted.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

Return the chicken to the skillet, letting it simmer gently in the sauce until cooked through and everything is coated in creamy goodness.
