Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts fresh or thawed
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/2 tbsp chicken seasoning
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 cups Colby Jack cheese shredded
  • 2 cups button mushrooms sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup grainy yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp onion flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp, then drain on paper towels and reserve bacon drippings.
  2. Season chicken breasts with chicken seasoning, onion powder, and paprika. Massage seasoning into chicken and marinate 45 minutes.
  3. Make the honey mustard sauce by gently heating honey, mustard, mayonnaise, and onion flakes in a pan. Stir smooth, then add corn syrup gradually to balance flavor. Simmer lightly and set aside.
  4. Using reserved bacon fat, sear chicken breasts 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  5. Place chicken in a foil-lined baking dish. Spoon honey mustard sauce over each piece, top with mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
  6. Bake until chicken is cooked through and cheese is fully melted and bubbly, about 20–25 minutes.
  7. Serve hot with vegetable slaw or your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra authenticity, serve with honey mustard on the side. Monterey Jack can substitute for Colby Jack if preferred.
