Ingredients
- ¾ cup regular or light mayonnaise
- ¼ cup regular or spicy honey
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 6 thick bacon slices
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or reserved bacon grease
- 1 ½-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts ¾-inch thick
- 1 teaspoon Tony Charachere Creole Seasoning or any creole/cajun seasoning blend
- 1 cup Colby jack cheese
- Garnish: sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey and dijon mustard.
- In a large, oven-safe skillet on medium-high, cook bacon until crispy then remove from the pan.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the pan, and add sliced mushrooms and onion. Cook 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned and tender. Transfer to a bowl.
- Pound chicken breasts to ¾” thickness and season on both sides with Tonys. Add butter to the skillet and cook chicken breasts in a single layer in the skillet, about 3 minutes on each side. Turn off the heat.
- Return the cooked mushrooms and onion on top of the the chicken breasts. Spoon on top ¾ of the honey mustard sauce. Distribute the crumbled bacon and cheese evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve with the remaining honey mustard sauce and garnished with sliced green onion.

Notes
- Make sure the chicken breasts are ¾" thick prior to cooking. You can do this by halving them with a knife or pounding them inside a zip-topbag with a mallet.
- If you don't like the heat Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning or hot honey gives this dish, you can easily swap for salt and pepper or an all-purpose salt blend and regular honey.
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breasts. Simply adjust the cooking time to ensure a minimum internal temperature of 165°F is met. We prefer our thighs around 175°F.
- The mushrooms in this recipe can be baby bella, button, or cremini mushrooms.
