Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 green onions
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Whisk ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Save half the sauce for later.
- Pound chicken breasts to even thickness. Completely coat them in the remaining sauce mixture.
- Heat griddle to 350°F. Ensure surface is evenly hot before cooking.
- Place chicken on griddle, cooking undisturbed for 6-7 minutes on the first side until golden brown marks appear.
- Flip chicken and cook additional 5-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Check temperature with meat thermometer.
- While chicken cooks, heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil on another griddle section. Sauté 1 cup mushroom slices until they develop rich brown edges.
- Once chicken reaches 160°F, top each breast with sautéed mushrooms, ¼ cup shredded cheese blend, and 1-2 chopped bacon pieces.
- Cover chicken with melting dome or foil tent. Cook until cheese melts and chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
- Drizzle reserved sauce over chicken. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
- Serve immediately while chicken remains hot and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Pounding chicken breasts ensures even thickness, which helps them cook uniformly and prevents dry edges or undercooked centers.
- Allow the chicken to marinate in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before grilling to enhance flavor and tenderness, but avoid marinating too long as the acid can break down the meat.
- Check chicken temperature with a meat thermometer to guarantee food safety, removing it from heat at 160°F and letting it rest briefly to reach the final 165°F.
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise and use turkey bacon or omit bacon entirely to reduce fat content while maintaining delicious flavor profile.
