Cooking Steps

  3. Add thyme and flour, cook for about 1 minute to thicken.

  5. Stir in asiago cheese until melted and smooth, adjust seasoning.
  6. Return chicken to skillet, cover, and cook in oven at 400°F for 15 minutes or simmer on stovetop until cooked through.
  7. For slow cooking, transfer to slow cooker after step 5 and cook on low for 4-10 hours or high for 2-4 hours.
  8. For a one-pan meal, add pasta or rice during the gravy step and increase chicken broth.
