Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Chicken and Mushroom Skillet in a Creamy Asiago and Mustard Sauce

[heart_this] · Feb 25, 2015 · 68 Comments

Chicken and Mushroom Skillet in a Creamy Asiago and Mustard Sauce

Quick and easy chicken and mushrooms in a creamy asiago and dijon mustard sauce.

Up next we have another super quick and easy chicken dish and this time it’s a one skillet chicken and mushroom dish in a creamy asiago and dijon mustard sauce and it’s just packed with flavour! This recipe starts out by butterflying or pounding the chicken thin so that it cooks quickly and then cooking it at a high temperature to caramelize it on both sides before setting aside. The mushrooms along with the onion, garlic and thyme are then cooked before deglazing the pan with some white wine, adding the chicken broth, cream and mustards, simmering to reduce and thicken the sauce and adding the asiago cheese! All said and done this recipe takes about 30 minutes to make so it is perfect for dinner on a busy week night and it’s sure to impress everyone that tries it!
I like to kick things up a bit by adding white miso paste at the end which adds that certain something, aka umami, to the dish but it’s completely optional. Another way to go is to season with soy sauce instead of salt as soy sauce is also an ingredient with umami.

Chicken and Mushroom Skillet in a Creamy Asiago and Mustard Sauce
I served the chicken and mushrooms in creamy asiago mustard sauce on quinoa with some simple steamed broccoli for a super quick and easy dinner. Broccoli and mushrooms are a fabulous combination so double the sauce and pour the extra over the broccoli or green beans!

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes Servings: 4

Quick and easy chicken and mushrooms in a creamy asiago and dijon mustard sauce.

ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons oil or butter
  • 4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup asiago cheese, grated
directions
  1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium-hight heat, season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, add them to the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-6 minutes per side, before setting aside.
  2. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid and it has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  3. Mix in the garlic and thyme and cook, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the wine and deglaze the pan.
  5. Add the broth and cream, mix in the mustards, season with salt and pepper to taste, add the chicken, bring to a boil and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  6. Mix in the asiago and let it melt, remove from heat and enjoy!
Option: For One-Pan: Make this a one-pan meal by adding 8 ounces of pasta and 2 1/4 cups broth or water (or 1 cup of rice and 2 cups broth or water) to the sauce in step 5 and simmer, covered, until cooked, about 12 minutes (or 20 minutes for rice).
Option: Cook the mushrooms longer, until the start to caramelize, for even more flavour.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon white miso paste by mixing some of the hot pan sauce into the miso in a bowl before mixing it back into the pan sauce just after you remove it from the heat.
Option: Season with soy sauce instead of salt or miso.

    Sounds delicious and I'll bet it smells heavenly. According to a close friend, asiago is the "king of cheeses" and I'd have to agree – always finding new ways to use this wonderful cheese. Can't wait to try this dish.

    Callmeafoodie – This was delicious ! Please note though that I made the following changes to better suit me; I used breasts that I turned into cutlets by slicing in half and pounded/tenderized them. I then dredged them in a flour mixture (flour, onion, garlic and mustard powder as well as paprika, salt and pepper) and began pan-frying them quickly (2 minutes a side). Once they were done, I made the sauce but I sauteed the onions first for about 10 minutes until translucent, removed them from the pan and then the mushrooms which when almost done, I added the garlic. Once the sauce was ready (had to add a little flour/water mixture to help thicken) I layered the chicken and sauce in a glass lasagne pan and covered with foil and finished cooking it (specifically the chicken) in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes. This was delicious and the meat was incredibly moist and tender. Using full breasts wouldn't have worked as well at all ..

    We made this recently while visiting Florida for a week. We were in a timeshare with a full kitchen without a fully stocked pantry… so I was looking for interesting recipes using ingredients I could either use up within the week or pack in the suitcase for home. This turned out *awesome.* I pared it with a green salad and brown rice (using up the chicken broth in one meal). My only hack… I went with a rustic grainy dijon to avoid carrying two containers of mustard home. I'll definitely re-make this is my own kitchen this year.

    Hi Kevin, I noticed another one of your anonymous reviewer's from Australia (as I also am) mentioned that she couldn't get white miso or asiago cheese here in Australia, but I know we can as I bought both of them from one of our 2 major supermarkets 2 days ago. I actually checked out both "Woolworths" and Coles" as well as a little Asian store finding it all in all stores as well as "Coles" being the cheapest for Miso at $3.20Aus, "Woolworths" at $4.20Aus and the Asian store at $4.80Aus. Just letting you know if anyone else from Oz inquires. I actually bought mine because I've found so many beautiful recipes on your site that includes specifically the Miso, so now I'm ready, willing and able to try this one. It sure does sound YUM!
