Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Bacon strips
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by prepping the honey mustard marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a re-sealable zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the honey mustard mixture over the chicken (reserving the other half for later), cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill with vegetable oil.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, prepare the bacon by frying in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Once the chicken is done cooking, move it to a baking sheet. Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of cooked bacon and a generous layer of shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses.
Place the baking sheet under a broiler set to high, just long enough to melt the cheese (1-2 minutes). Monitor closely to avoid burning.
Drizzle the reserved honey mustard sauce over the cheesy, bacon-topped chicken, and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish if desired.
Serve hot alongside your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
