1/2 c dijon mustard
1/2 c cup honey
4 1/2 tsp canola oil, divided -- i use vegetable oil or olive oil
1/2 tsp lemon juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
dash paprika
2 c sliced fresh mushrooms
2 Tbsp butter
1 c (4 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese
1 c (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
8 bacon strips, partially cooked
2 tsp minced fresh parsley

Steps:

1. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, honey, 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice.
2. Pour 1/2 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add the chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate the remaining marinade. I marinated mine over night..
3. Drain and discard marinade from chicken. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in remaining oil on all sides. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.
4. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms in butter until tender. Spoon reserved marinade over chicken. Top with cheeses and mushrooms. Place bacon strips in a crisscross pattern over chicken.
5. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Sprinkle with parsley.
