Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (button or cremini, chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.
  • Sauté the mushrooms in the reserved bacon grease until golden and tender, about 5 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom-bacon-cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • While the chicken bakes, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and garlic powder to make the honey mustard sauce.
  • Drizzle the honey mustard sauce over the chicken before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh parsley over the finished dish. Toothpicks can help keep the filling in place during cooking.
