Years ago, I used to get these Taste of Home recipe magazines, they're full of home cook's recipes. One issue had a recipe very very similar to this is and I just loved it. I've misplaced that magazine (some moves later), so I searched for it online and found this honey dijon version. I know it didn't have a marinade to it, but I decided to give this recipe a go. I changed it up a little to what I remember, and it was just as delicious.
Bacon Mushroom Honey Dijon Chicken
adapted slightly from Taste of Home
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
4-1/2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash paprika
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
8 bacon strips, cut and cooked
2 TBL sliced green onions
In a small bowl, combine the mustard, honey, 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add the chicken. Seal the bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours.
Drain and discard marinade from chicken. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in remaining oil on all sides. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, saute mushrooms with cooked bacon until tender. Remove to set aside. Add chicken breasts to skillet, top with mushroom and bacon then cheeses and green onions.
Cook over low heat, covered for 15-20 minutes until juices run clear.
Mmm, cooked mushrooms in bacon love./ Assembly of loaded up chicken.

Rachelle, I made this tonight and it was a HUGE hit! Thanks for sharing!!!
I came via Pinterest, from the mini taquito recipe and I've been surfing your site for about a half hour! So many delicious, doable recipes, this is my new favorite food blog!
Made this tonight. Found it on Pinterest. Delicious!
Made this tonight. Quite possibly one of my favorite recipes. I used pepper jack instead. Loved it!!!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)
do you think substituting olive oil for canola oil would make a big difference? Thanks!
@Lindsey & Joe,
Sure you can use olive oil instead. Won't hurt a thing. =)
We had this tonight for supper. My dad kept saying "It looks like something you would get at Carraba's" :) My only suggestion would be to use less cheese. We probably had more than 1/3 cup of cheese left and there was plenty on the chicken/mushroom/bacon mixture. That being said, it was by far the best chicken dish we've had in a long time.
The chicken was very juicy. I used turkey bacon and went lighter on the cheese and it was pretty good.
I pinned this a while ago and just made it tonight! Delicious! We might try it on the grill next time!

We just made this and it was FANTASTIC! :) Great recipe - thanks for sharing!!
Do you think you could have the chicken in the Dijon/honey mixture for more than 2 hours or would that mess things up? Wondering if I can do that part in the morning...thanks so much!!!
carterpaugustine, I think that would be ok. :)
What do you serve with this? Thanks.
Hi L Williamson,
I think any sort of side dish would be great along with a small salad. Potatoes, rice, quinoa, veggie bake....
I have used this dish at SOO many family dinners, parties and even several of my friends now do to! It's soo delish and one of my favorite chicken dishes ever!
