Equipment
- Saute pan or large skillet, with lid
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
Honey Mustard Marinade:
- ½ cup dijon mustard
- ½ cup honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Chicken:
- 2 pounds chicken breasts (about 4) boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 teaspoons parsley
Instructions
- Whisk the dijon mustard, honey, vegetable oil, and lemon juice well in a small bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken in a medium bowl, and marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Heat a saute pan over medium heat, then add the bacon and fry until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towel.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan along with the butter (no need to clean after the bacon) and saute until soft. Remove and set aside.
- Add the chicken and marinade to the pan and cook until the chicken is cooked through, turning halfway.
- Once the chicken is cooked, turn the heat to low and stack two pieces of bacon, crosswise, on each chicken breast.
- Spoon the sautéed mushrooms on the bacon, being sure to coat each breast evenly.
- Spread about ¼ cup of the Monterey Jack cheese onto each piece, followed by ¼ cup of the cheddar cheese.
- Cover the pan and heat on low for about 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes
If you want a little bit more sauce on your chicken, add some of the pan juices from cooking to a small bowl and mix well before drizzling over the top.
The cheddar cheese will melt best if you grate it yourself from a block of solid cheese.
To make sure the chicken is fully cooked, use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the chicken comes up to a temperature of 165F.
The chicken will be marinated in 2 hours, however, the flavor will be stronger and the chicken will be more tender if marinated for up to 24 hours.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this chicken over white or brown rice to add healthy starch.
If you're looking for a vegetable side dish, try steamed broccoli Buttered Cabbage, Roasted Beets, or asparagus which pairs well with any chicken dish.
French fries or baked potato wedges would also be a fun, crispy side for serving. Be sure to also try Air Fryer Baby Potatoes or a Microwave Baked Potato.
Slice leftovers and serve on top of a green salad for a lighter twist on this meal.
Serve over a bed of Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice, with a side of Wingstop Ranch and some Louisiana Rub Wingstop Chicken Wings for a meal of your favorite copycat recipes!
