Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken & Toppings:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices crispy bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms (use white or cremini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for grilling)
For the Honey Mustard Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Grill the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the Toppings: While the chicken is grilling, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sauté the mushrooms in the same skillet with a bit of olive oil for about 5-7 minutes until they’re tender and lightly browned.
- Assemble the Chicken:
- Once the chicken is cooked, brush a generous amount of the honey mustard sauce over the top of each piece.
- Top each chicken breast with sautéed mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Return the chicken to the grill (or place in the oven under the broiler) for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Drizzle with more honey mustard sauce if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Notes
- For extra flavor: Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the honey mustard sauce for a smoky twist.
- Grill it indoors: If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stove or bake it at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with a baked potato, fries, or a side of steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
- Make ahead: You can prep the chicken and sauce ahead of time, then assemble and grill when ready to serve.
