Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear chicken on both sides until browned but not cooked through.
Transfer chicken to a baking dish.
Cook bacon until crisp and set aside.
Mix Dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a bowl. Brush this mixture over the chicken.
Top chicken with shredded cheeses and bacon slices.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For a flavor boost, marinate chicken in the mustard-mayo mixture for several hours before cooking. Use turkey bacon or swap cheddar for pepper jack if preferred.
