Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ½-inch thickness)
Lowry’s Seasoning Salt (to taste)
6 slices bacon
¼ cup regular mustard
⅓ cup honey
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp dried onion flakes
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (optional)
2 cups shredded Colby/Jack cheese
Instructions
Season Chicken: Sprinkle chicken breasts with Lowry’s seasoning salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cook Bacon: In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. Do not discard bacon grease.
Sear Chicken: Sauté the seasoned chicken breasts in the bacon grease over medium heat for 3–5 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a 9×13 casserole dish.
Make Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and dried onion flakes.
Assemble: Spread a layer of honey mustard sauce over each chicken breast. Top with optional mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake chicken for 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Spoon extra honey mustard sauce over the top if desired. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Mushrooms are optional but add great umami flavor.
You can reserve some honey mustard on the side for dipping.
Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a side salad for a complete meal.
For a shortcut, use store-bought honey mustard — but homemade tastes best!
