Bacon Mushroom Honey Dijon Chicken image

I saw a photo of this recipe on Pinterest and found the original recipe posted on the blog "Mommy? I'm Hungry!". The chicken looked so yummilicious that I immediately had to try it. Since I did made a couple of changes to the original recipe when I prepared it, I'm posting it here with my changes so I can remember how I made it.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
4 1/2 teaspoons oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
paprika, to taste
1 cup mushroom, sliced (I used canned mushrooms)
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
6 slices bacon
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Note: the original recipe called for 1/4 t of salt, 1/8 t of pepper and a dash of paprika. I didn't measure any of these three ingredients when I made the recipe - I just eyeballed it and sprinkled the seasonings on each side of the chicken as it cooked.
  • In a resealable bag, combine the mustard, honey, 1 ½ t oil and lemon juice.
  • Flatten each chicken breast with a meat mallet and cut each in half; add the chicken to the marinade.
  • Seal the bag and marinate the chicken for about 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Drain the marinade from the chicken.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon.
  • When it is done, remove the bacon from the pan and let it drain and cool; crumble when cooled.
  • Add the remaining oil to the bacon grease and brown chicken on all sides.
  • Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika as it browns.
  • Top the chicken with the mushrooms and bacon.
  • Add both of the cheeses and the green onions on top of the mushrooms and bacon.
  • Cover the pan and cook the chicken on low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the juices run clear.
