Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
• For the Honey Mustard Sauce:
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown (they do not need to be fully cooked through).

1. Cook the Bacon and Mushrooms:

• In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble or chop into small pieces.
• In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, sauté the sliced mushrooms until tender and golden brown. Set aside.

1. Assemble the Chicken:

• Place the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish. Top each breast with sautéed mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and a mix of shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:

• While the chicken bakes, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to combine.

1. Serve:

• Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle or serve with the honey mustard sauce.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

• Make-Ahead: You can prepare the honey mustard sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
• Sides: Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
