01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the Asiago cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, bread crumbs, parsley, and Kalamata olives to make the filling. Spoon about a quarter of this mixture onto the center of each chicken breast, then roll them up like a jelly roll. Use toothpicks to keep everything tucked in tight. Brush the tops with olive oil, place them seam-side down in your dish, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a little paprika.

Step 2
Pop the chicken into the oven and bake for around 30 minutes, or until the inside is no longer pink and the juices run clear. If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part. Once done, take the chicken out and loosely cover it with foil to rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 3
While the chicken is resting, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms start to turn golden, about 4 minutes. Add the thyme and white wine to the pan, stirring to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom, and let it cook for a couple of minutes.

Step 4
Turn the heat down a bit and stir in the heavy cream, seasoning with salt and pepper. Let the sauce thicken just a bit, then add half a cup of Asiago cheese, stirring until it melts smoothly. Be sure to take it off the heat right away so the cheese doesn’t get stringy or lumpy.

Step 5
Finally, slice the chicken into half-inch pieces, drizzle with the creamy Asiago sauce, garnish with a little thyme, and serve while it’s warm.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines tender chicken with the rich, nutty flavor of Asiago cheese. It’s a perfect balance of creamy and savory that feels special but is easy to make. The melted cheese inside keeps the chicken juicy and adds a delicious surprise with every bite.
How to serve
Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to add color and crunch. Garlic mashed potatoes or a simple pasta tossed in olive oil and herbs also pair well for a hearty meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the chicken moist and the cheese creamy. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the chicken and cheese may change.
