Equipment

  • electric mixer
  • Ovenproof frying pan
  • Small frying pan
  • resealable plastic bag

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts halved
  • 2 cups sliced white mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 slices cooked bacon
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • paprika to taste

Honey Mustard Marinade

  • 1 cup Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup honey
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, combine all honey mustard marinade ingredients. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture for about 30 seconds.
  • Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pour in about one-third of the marinade. Refrigerate for about 2 hours. Chill the remaining marinade until later.
  • Heat the oven to 275 degrees F. In a small frying pan, saute the mushrooms in the butter for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside.
  • After the chicken has been marinated, remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. In an ovenproof frying pan, heat chicken and oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken in the pan for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove pan from heat but keep chicken in the pan.
  • Brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the honey mustard marinade, saving extra to serve on the side. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stack 2 pieces of cooked bacon crosswise on each chicken breast. Spoon the sauteed mushrooms onto the bacon, coating each breast evenly. Sprinkle ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese evenly onto each breast followed by ¼ cup cheddar.
  • Bake the pan of prepared chicken breasts for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and starting to bubble. Sprinkle each breast with ½ teaspoon parsley before serving.
  • Put extra honey mustard marinade into a small bowl to serve on the side.

Notes

If you don't have an ovenproof frying pan, you can sear the chicken over the stove in a frying pan and then transfer it to a baking dish for the oven.
