Smothered Chicken
Tender chicken smothered in honey mustard, bacon, cheese, and chives.
Ingredients
- 4 ea chicken breast pounded out to 1/2" thickness
- 12 pcs bacon
- 8 tbsp honey mustard
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese or 8 slices
- 2 tbsp chives
- 2 tbsp chicken seasoning see notes
Instructions
-
Cook bacon slices until crispy. Set aside on a paper towel.
-
Pound chicken breasts out to 1/2" thickness. Season with your favorite seasoning (or see notes). Cook in the same pan as the bacon grease or cook in a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook over medium to high heat about 5-6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
-
Dab or brush honey mustard onto each chicken breast and then top with 3 slices of bacon. Break the bacon into shorter slices, if needed, to fit on the chicken. Pile shredded cheese or lay sliced cheese on the bacon slices.
-
Put the chicken under a broiler for 5 minutes, watching carefully so the cheese doesn't burn.
-
Before serving, top with chives and drizzle with honey mustard.
Recipe Notes
Chicken Seasoning: Use your favorite blend of chicken seasoning or make your own. I recommend at least salt, pepper, and garlic. You could also add some cajun seasoning, paprika, onion powder, or any other spices.
