Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Meat

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 bacon strips

Vegetables

  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

Dairy and Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Sauces and Oils

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Allow them to sit briefly so the flavors can penetrate the meat.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
  3. Cook the bacon and mushrooms: In the same pan, fry bacon strips until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté until tender and golden.
  4. Make the creamy sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Assemble and melt cheese: Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the pan or on a baking sheet. Top each breast with sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon strips, and shredded cheddar cheese. Broil or place in a hot oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese perfectly.
  6. Serve with sauce: Drizzle the creamy mustard sauce over the melted cheese and chicken just before serving for a luscious and flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Prep ingredients in advance: slice mushrooms, crisp bacon, and measure spices before starting.
  • Don’t overcook the chicken to avoid dryness; watch cooking time carefully.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for better melt and flavor.
  • Make the creamy sauce ahead and refrigerate to enhance flavors.
  • Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
