Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (such as Lawry's)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
6 slices bacon , cut in half
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups freshly shredded Colby-Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
baked potato , for serving
roasted broccoli , for serving

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound them out to a 1/2-inch even thickness. Season both sides with the seasoning salt and garlic powder.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, and dried onion flakes. (Transfer half of the sauce to a sealed container and refrigerate to use later.)
Transfer the seasoned chicken breasts to a large plastic Ziploc bag with the remaining sauce and toss to coat. (If time permits, cover and chill in the fridge for 1 to 8 hours for best flavor.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place bacon slices in a large ovenproof deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until crisp, turning occasionally, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Pour drippings into a small bowl and wipe out the skillet.
Add 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings back to the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Transfer to a bowl.
Add another tablespoon of the bacon drippings to the skillet. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook another 5 minutes.
Spoon 1/4 of the reserved chilled honey-mustard sauce evenly over the chicken, top with the mushrooms, bacon, and cheese. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes (or until an instant read thermometer registers 165F.)
Let cook for a couple minutes, then serve with remaining reserved chilled sauce and a sprinkle of parsley.
