- - 2 tbsp butter;
- - 8 oz mushrooms, sliced;
- - 1 tbsp olive oil;
- - 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped into 2-inch pieces;
- - 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese.
Instructions
- Add mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice to a bowl. Mix until combined. Save¼ cup of this sauce. You can use it as a dip for the cooked chicken breasts.

- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet. Add sliced mushrooms and cook 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a clean plate.
- Wipe out the skillet using a paper towel. Add olive oil and heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade. Then, place chicken breasts in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until brown on both sides (about 5 minutes on each side).
- Turn off the heat. Place cooked mushrooms on the chicken breasts. Then, add pieces of bacon and top with shredded cheese. Cover with a lid. Bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until chicken breasts are ready. Check the readiness of the chicken breasts with a cooking thermometer (the safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is165°F). Serve with reserved honey mustard sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
