Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon
  • 1 package cremini mushrooms, sliced 8 ounces
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 pounds total
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • cup honey mustard
  • 0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large cast-iron skillet or brazier, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a medium bowl using a slotted spoon, reserving the drippings in the skillet.
  • Arrange the mushrooms in the skillet in a single layer and cook, stirring every 2 minutes and re-spreading into an even layer, until lightly golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the bacon. Do not wipe the skillet clean.
  • Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from the heat.
  • Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the honey mustard on top of each chicken breast in the skillet, then top each evenly with the mushroom-bacon mixture. Sprinkle evenly with the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
  • Place the skillet over medium-low heat. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Cook, undisturbed, until the cheese is melted and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F, 8 to 10 minutes.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
