Notes

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:
    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours for the best flavor.
  3. Cook the Bacon:
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and sauté 1 cup of sliced mushrooms over medium heat until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Sear the Chicken:
    Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter. Sear the marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown but not fully cooked.
  6. Assemble the Dish:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the seared chicken in a baking dish. Spoon the remaining honey mustard sauce over each chicken breast. Add sautéed mushrooms and sprinkle with chopped bacon. Top each breast with Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake:
    Bake the chicken in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish and Serve:
    Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy.
