Ingredients

Scale

For the chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the toppings:

  • 1 cup (240 ml) honey mustard dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup (150 g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups (150 g) shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the chicken:
    • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly browned. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms:
    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the dish:
    • Spread 2 tablespoons of honey mustard dressing over each chicken breast.
    • Top with crumbled bacon and sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and serve:
    • Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.


Notes

  • To make homemade honey mustard, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup honey, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
  • For a lower-calorie option, use turkey bacon or reduce the amount of cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
