Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Bacon and Cheese

  • 6 strips of bacon
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese

Mushroom Sauce

  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (such as white button or cremini)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons honey mustard sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil on both sides to lock in moisture and flavor.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon strips until crisp. Drain excess grease on paper towels and set aside for topping the chicken later.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and charred. Remove from heat and let rest.
  4. Sauté the Mushrooms: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until soft and browned, developing a rich, savory flavor.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Place grilled chicken on serving plates, spoon sautéed mushrooms over the chicken, layer with crispy bacon strips, then top with Monterey Jack cheese slices. Drizzle generously with honey mustard sauce.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Transfer assembled chicken to a preheated oven or broiler and cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Use room temperature chicken for even cooking by letting it rest outside the fridge for 20 minutes before grilling.
  • Rest cooked chicken for 5 minutes to keep juices locked inside and maintain moistness.
  • Sauté mushrooms slowly over medium heat to enhance flavor and avoid rubbery texture.
  • Adjust cheese quantity based on preference for more or less gooeyness.
  • Customize honey mustard sauce by adding extra honey or mustard to balance sweetness and tang to your liking.
