Ingredients

Honey Mustard

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Chicken

4 chicken breasts
6 strips bacon cooked
1.5 cups mushrooms sliced
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
2 tablespoons oil

Equipment

Method

Whisk the honey mustard ingredients. Marinate the chicken in half of it for 15 minutes; reserve the rest for serving.
Saute the mushrooms in a little oil until golden, then set aside.
Sear the chicken in an oven-safe skillet 4-5 minutes per side until nearly cooked.
Top each breast with bacon, mushrooms, and both cheeses.
Bake at 375F for 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with the reserved honey mustard.

Notes

The honey mustard doubles as marinade and sauce. Pound the chicken even so it cooks through without drying out.
