Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup honey mustard dressing
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup sautéed mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- Season the Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mix over the chicken breasts.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, adding a little oil. Sear the seasoned chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
- Add the Honey Mustard: Drizzle honey mustard dressing over each chicken breast, making sure each piece is well-coated.
- Top with Bacon and Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled bacon over each chicken breast, then top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Add sautéed mushrooms, if desired.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot, with your favorite sides!
Notes
For added flavor, substitute turkey bacon for a lighter option, or use a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese. To make it a bit spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning rub. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed veggies or a fresh side salad!
