Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
• 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Honey Mustard Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sauce

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Set aside. This sauce gives the chicken its famous sweet and tangy flavor.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Cook the Bacon and Mushrooms

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels. In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until soft and golden.

Step 4: Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in the skillet. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side until nicely golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked yet because it will finish baking in the oven.

Step 5: Assemble

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish. Spread a generous amount of honey mustard sauce over each piece of chicken.

Top with sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon, and plenty of shredded cheese.

Step 6: Bake

Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7: Serve

Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot with extra honey mustard sauce on the side.
