Ingredients
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ stick
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 slices cooked bacon chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- fresh parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, honey, mustard, and lemon juice together. Set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large oven-proof skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside, then return the skillet to the heat.
- Heat the oil until it’s shimmering. Add the chicken breasts in a single layer and brown on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Drizzle half of the honey mustard sauce over the chicken. Scatter the mushrooms evenly over the chicken, then top it with the bacon and half of the cheese.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and continue baking for an additional 4-8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve with reserved sauce on the side for dipping.
