Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then generously season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet, allowing them to melt and combine for about 30 seconds.
  4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 5–6 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Flip the chicken over and cook for an additional 5–6 minutes until browned.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6–8 minutes until browned and tender.
  8. Add minced garlic and thyme into the skillet, sauté for 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
  9. Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the bottom to lift flavorful bits, boiling for 2–3 minutes.
  10. Stir in chicken broth and onion powder, then add heavy cream and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Gradually stir in the grated Asiago cheese until it melts completely.
  12. Return chicken thighs to the skillet, skin-side up, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  13. Uncover and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to thicken.
  14. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley and serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
