💡 Chef Tip:
For extra flavor, sear chicken first in butter and olive oil and finish the sauce in the same skillet—this builds depth from the fond (brown bits).
I can also give you a quick 20-minute version of this dish that keeps the creamy Asiago flavor but is faster to make on busy nights. Do you want me to do that?
