Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (portioned into 4)
- 3 cups Colby Jack cheese (finely shredded)
- 6 pieces bacon (crisply fried and bisected)
- 1 cup mushrooms (sliced and drained)
- 1/2 tsp McCormick season all
- 2 tsp parsley (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup mustard (prepared variety)
- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Whisk together mustard, honey, corn syrup, and mayonnaise until achieving a silky, lump-free sauce. Adjust corn syrup quantity to balance mustard’s intensity.
- Liberally coat chicken breasts with McCormick Season All, allowing them to marinate for 60 minutes at room temperature.
- Crisp bacon in a skillet until golden brown, then drain excess grease and set aside.
- Heat minimal oil in a skillet over medium temperature. Sear chicken breasts until light golden and fully cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a clean surface and generously brush with prepared honey mustard sauce.
- Layer each chicken breast with sliced mushrooms, creating an even distribution across the surface.
- Arrange three bacon strips strategically over the mushroom layer.
- Sprinkle Colby-Jack cheese uniformly, ensuring complete coverage of the chicken.
- Slide chicken into a preheated 350°F oven and bake until cheese melts completely, roughly 5-7 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, accompanying with additional honey mustard sauce.
Notes
- Adjust honey mustard sauce by reducing corn syrup for a tangier flavor or adding more for sweetness, allowing personalization based on taste preferences.
- Marinate chicken for maximum flavor absorption, ideally between 30-60 minutes, ensuring seasoning penetrates deeply into the meat.
- Pat chicken dry before seasoning to help McCormick Season All adhere better and create a more even, crispy exterior during cooking.
- Substitute bacon with turkey bacon or tempeh for lower-fat or vegetarian alternatives without compromising the dish’s rich flavor profile.
