Get raves at the dinner table with this easy, one-skillet Chicken in Asiago Cream Sauce. Lightly browned chicken & sauteed mushrooms are simmered in creamy cheese sauce and served over pasta. Yum!
I love Sunday! Saturday is always about getting all the chores done and running errands and, when I had kids still at home, going to their sports games or other activities. When Sunday rolled around I was ready to relax and pay attention to what really mattered - my family.
Maybe that is why my daughter and son are still so close to us even though they have families of their own. We made it a point, as often as possible, to sit down to dinner together, chat, and keep in touch with all the important events in their lives. I still love when everyone can get together, laugh, catch up and enjoy a good meal.
This dish is perfect for any get-together whether it's family or friends. It is an easy to prepare dinner that looks extra special. The sauce's calorie content is cut considerably by subbing fat-free half & half for cream and limiting the cheese to only ½ cup. It still gives the dish a great taste without putting it over the top in calories.
Enjoy!
Wine Pairing: You don't have to go crazy spending big bucks for a wine to drink with dinner. There are plenty of reasonable and delicious choices out there. With this dish's rich cream sauce accompanied by mushrooms and cheese. I would stick with a lightly oaked Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, or even a Viognier.
