Roasted Garlic Asiago Chicken & Potatoes
It’s no secret that I love anything cheesy.
Mr. HH even picked me up with a cheesy line when we were teens. Â ‘Drop the zero & go with the hero’.
See, I’m a lost cause.
Um. What was I talking about? Â I was just totally distracted by this ^^^. Â Cheesy, garlic-y goodness. Â Crazy good!
This is one of those recipes that I made up on a pantry challenge  – I found a whole block of asiago cheese in my refrigerator.  Yes, I found it…which means I had previously forgotten about it. Which I don’t understand because honestly, how can anyone forget about cheese? Especially when that someone is me, a self declared cheese addict.  (weekly meetings of the Cheeseaholics Anonymous takes place in my kitchen, beside the fridge – every day.  Bring cheese)
Pretty much your whole meal is in this dish. Â Just toss a salad to go along with it, and you’re good to go. Â Dinner is served…. and it’s delicious!
First thing, you need to roast your garlic. Â Yo will need 2 whole heads of garlic. Gotta keep those vampires away, you know? Cut the top off of each head, place on a square of aluminum foil, & drizzle with olive oil. Close each up like a little purse full of garlic, and cook it on 350 for an hour. Â You can also do individual cloves if that’s the kind of garlic you buy, sort of like I did here – but the flavor won’t be as garlic-y.
Now, get your diced potatoes in the oven.  You can leave the skin on or take it off, it’s totally up to you.  Season them with salt & pepper – or use a seasoning blend.  I really like the garlic & herb kind from Weber. Cover them with tinfoil, and bake for about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, start on your chicken. Â Season it with a little salt & pepper, & sear it on each side.
Set the chicken aside.
Now, it’s time to make the best part of all. Â The roasted garlic & asiago cheese topping – yum!
Combine the roasted garlic, asiago, sour cream, cream cheese, & milk.
Now – let’s finish this up!
Take the potatoes out of the oven & uncover them. Â Nestle the chicken breasts in with the potatoes.
Dollop the cheese mixture all on top of the chicken & potatoes.
Sprinkle with mozzarella & parsley.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
Now, I like to sprinkle mine with a few strips of crumbled up crispy bacon but that’s totally optional. Â Ok, you got me – bacon is never optional. Â Totally mandatory.

This looks delicious! I have never tried asiago cheese though. What would it be similar to?
It’s similar to Parmesan and Romano – but a little sweeter.
Thanks! I will definitely be trying this!
Looks and sounds divine! I cannot cook without garlic. 🙂
Oh my gosh, this sounds like my new favorite dish! Can’t wait to try it!

Do you cook the chicken until done or just brown (sear) it on each side?
Made it last night and it was wonderful! With bacon of course. I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing. B. Karr
