ingrédients :
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon McCormick Season All seasoning
3 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
6 bacon strips, fried until crisp and halved across the middle
Cooking oil, as needed.
For The Sauce
½ cup prepared mustard
¼ cup light corn syrup
¼ cup honey
¼ cup mayonnaise.
instructions:
Rub Season All seasoning over the chicken and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour.
Fry the bacon while the chicken is marinating and discard the grease.
Add a small amount of oil to a cast iron skillet and pan fry the chicken until only just cooked through and slightly golden.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Top the chicken breasts with mushrooms, bacon and enough shredded cheese to completely cover.
Bake for a few minutes until the cheese has melted, then serve sprinkled with parsley and with the honey mustard sauce on the side.
To switch up this recipe, you can easily use different cheeses like Swiss or cheddar, or opt for turkey bacon as a lighter alternative.
Adding sautéed onions or bell peppers can enhance the flavor and add some extra texture.
For even cooking, it helps to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
If you prefer a spicier dish, mixing a little hot sauce into the honey mustard sauce will give it a nice kick.
Lastly, let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to lock in the juices and ensure a tender bite.
To store this dish, allow the chicken to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat, place the chicken in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
If freezing, store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
For best results, store the sauce separately and add it after reheating to preserve its texture and flavor.
