Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Paprika

For the Marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Toppings:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Colby Jack, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Marinate the Chicken:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice.
    • Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag, pour in the marinade, and coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for better flavor.
  • Prepare the Chicken:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
    • Remove chicken from the marinade and discard remaining marinade.
    • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side to lock in juices.
  • Assemble the Dish:
    • Transfer seared chicken to the baking dish.
  • Make the Toppings:
    • In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms until golden.
    • Spread mushrooms over chicken, add bacon, and sprinkle cheese on top.
  • Bake:
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Pounding chicken breasts thinly ensures even cooking.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the chicken instead of baking.
  • Substitute mushrooms with onions or bell peppers, if desired.
