Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup honey mustard dressing
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)

Equipment

  • . Oven-safe skillet
  • . Meat thermometer (for checking chicken’s doneness)
  • . Knife and chopping board for slicing mushrooms and herbs

Method
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
      Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, searing the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
        In the same skillet, melt butter, then stir in honey mustard dressing, garlic powder, and paprika. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
          Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over it, and top with cheddar cheese, bacon, and mushrooms (if using).
            Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
              Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
