Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- Lowry’s Seasoning Salt
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup regular mustard
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (optional, based on preference)
- 2 cups shredded Colby/Jack cheese
Directions:
- Seasoning the Chicken:
- Sprinkle and rub the chicken breasts with Lowry’s Seasoning Salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
- Cooking the Bacon:
- While the chicken is marinating, cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set it aside. Keep the bacon grease in the skillet for cooking the chicken.
- Sautéing the Chicken:
- Sauté the chicken in the bacon grease for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until it’s nicely browned. Then, place the chicken in a 9″ x 13″ casserole dish or pan.
To Make the Honey Mustard:
- Preparing the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and dried onion flakes.
- Assembling the Dish:
- Spread some of the Honey Mustard sauce over each piece of chicken in the casserole dish.
- If using mushrooms, layer them over the chicken, followed by crumbled bacon, and finally, the shredded Colby/Jack cheese.
- Baking:
- Bake the assembled dish in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked.
