Ingredients
For the Chicken
Boneless skinless chicken breasts 4 pieces
Salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Butter 2 tablespoons
For the Toppings
Mushrooms sliced 1 cup
Bacon strips 4 to 6 slices
Shredded cheese Monterey Jack and Cheddar 1 cup
For the Honey Mustard Sauce
Honey 1/4 cup
Dijon mustard 1/4 cup
Mayonnaise 1/4 cup
Lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Instructions
In a small bowl mix honey Dijon mustard mayonnaise and lemon juice until well combined
Set aside half of the sauce for serving and use the other half for marinating the chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about half an inch
Season both sides with salt and black pepper
Place the chicken in a bowl or zip-lock bag and coat with half of the honey mustard sauce
Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy then place on paper towels to drain
In the same skillet add butter and sliced mushrooms then cook until soft and slightly browned about five minutes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for four to five minutes per side until golden brown
Preheat the oven to 375°F or 190°C
Place the cooked chicken on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish
Top each piece with cooked bacon strips and sautéed mushrooms
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes
Drizzle the remaining honey mustard sauce over the top
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes
Notes
For extra juiciness let the chicken marinate overnight in the refrigerator
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C
For a low-carb version use a sugar-free honey substitute and pair with steamed vegetables instead of mashed potatoes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days
To reheat place in the oven at 300°F for 10 minutes or heat on the stovetop with a splash of broth
