Sunday in Whistler

Posted: Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

While casually cruising the internet today, I came across what I think looks like a delectable dinner recipe. Thoughtful me decided to share with everyone. Hope you like it.

Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushroomshoney Sunday in Whistler
From your Everyday Home Cook

1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
8 to 12 slices bacon, partially cooked
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Seasonings: salt, pepper, paprika

Make marinade by mixing together mustard, honey, and lemon juice.  Add chicken breasts and refrigerate for two hours.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Heat a small amount of oil (canola or vegetable) in a skillet and add chicken breasts, discarding marinade.  Cook chicken a few minutes on each side.  Set aside.  Scrape out most of the juices from the pan, and add mushrooms.  Saute mushrooms until tender (a few minutes).  Assemble chicken in a large baking dish: chicken, then bacon, then mushrooms, then cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.  Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Makes 3 to 4 servings.

I know whats for dinner tonight!
