Instructions

Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, combine mustard, honey, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Using a fork or small whisk, mix for about 30 seconds or until all ingredients are well combined. This will make about 1 cup of marinade.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a sealable plastic bag. Pour about ½ cup of the marinade over the chicken, making sure all the chicken has been coated. Seal the bag and place the chicken into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  3. Store the remaining ½ cup marinade in the refrigerator to brush on later.

Chicken

  1. When ready, preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. To a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken in the pan for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. (The chicken will not be fully cooked at this point; it will cook more in the oven.)
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat. Brush the tops of each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved honey mustard marinade, saving the rest to serve on the side later.
  4. Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of cooked bacon. Then, add ¼ cup of each kind of shredded cheese to each chicken breast.
  5. Bake the chicken for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. Serve chicken garnished with parsley and the extra honey mustard marinade.
