Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 pieces |
| Honey mustard sauce | ½ cup |
| Sliced mushrooms | 1 cup |
| Crispy cooked bacon | 8 slices |
| Colby Jack cheese | 1 cup |
| Cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Dijon mustard | 2 tablespoons |
| Worcestershire sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Paprika | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt & pepper | To taste |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Fresh parsley (optional) | For garnish |
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine the honey mustard sauce, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Brush the chicken evenly with the honey mustard mixture.
- Grill or sear the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Set aside.
- In a separate pan, sauté the mushrooms in olive oil until they are tender and lightly browned.
- Preheat your broiler.
- Top each chicken breast with the sautéed mushrooms and two slices of crispy bacon.
- Sprinkle the Colby Jack and cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.
- Broil for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Tips for Success
- Make your own honey mustard by mixing equal parts honey and Dijon mustard.
- For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey mustard mixture for a few hours before cooking.
- Thinly sliced chicken breasts cook faster and more evenly.
- Swap the cheese with your preferred blend if you like.
- Cook the bacon separately to ensure it stays crispy.
