2 slices (thick sliced)
Chicken Breasts
2 (boneless, skinless)
Poultry Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon
Honey
1/4 cup
Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons
Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon

Dried Onion Flakes

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Cut the bacon slices in half and place them in a large skillet over medium heat.
3
Cook the bacon until crispy, then remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
4
While the bacon is cooking, flatten each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides of the chicken with poultry seasoning.
5
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the seasoned chicken breasts and brown them on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6
Transfer the browned chicken to a 1-quart baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
7
In a small bowl, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, corn syrup, and dried onion flakes until well combined.
8
Drizzle half of the honey-mustard mixture over the chicken breasts evenly.
9
Crumble the cooked bacon over the chicken breasts, then layer the sliced mushrooms on top of the bacon.
10
Drizzle the remaining honey-mustard sauce over the mushrooms to give them a flavorful glaze.
11
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
12
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the cover and place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast. You may also use shredded mozzarella if desired.
13
Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
