Seasonings and Sauces:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) yellow grainy mustard
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) honey
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup (optional, for sweetness adjustment)
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- ¼ tablespoon onion powder
- ¼ tablespoon chicken seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon onion flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring an ideal temperature for even cooking.
- Fry bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Create a seasoning blend by mixing chicken seasoning, onion powder, and paprika in a bowl.
- Thoroughly coat chicken breasts with the prepared seasoning mixture, allowing them to marinate for 45 minutes to enhance flavor penetration.
- Craft a honey mustard sauce by whisking together honey, Dijon mustard, dried onion flakes, mayonnaise, and corn syrup in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and well-combined.
- Heat the same skillet with residual bacon fat over medium heat and carefully brown the marinated chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, developing a rich golden exterior.
- Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and carefully arrange the seared chicken breasts.
- Generously drizzle the prepared honey mustard sauce over each chicken breast.
- Evenly distribute sliced mushrooms across the chicken pieces.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon fragments over the mushrooms.
- Cover the chicken with a generous layer of shredded Colby Jack cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-4 minutes to allow flavors to settle.
- Serve hot, accompanied by a fresh vegetable side dish for a complete meal experience.
