Bacon Mushroom Chicken

This recipe comes from the magazine Cooking For Two, which is put out by Taste of Home. It certainly is delicious! My husband loved it!! Even though it is for two people, you can obviously adjust the ingredients for your family size. By the way, just a plug for this magazine, it is a GREAT wedding gift/bridal shower gift for those newlyweds you know! It is full of creative and delicious recipes and it is exactly what my mom did for me when my husband and I got married! Helped me to think "outside the box" so to speak. Just food for thought!

What the recipe called for:

• 2 bacon strips, halved
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
• 1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; set aside. Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle both sides with seasoned salt. Brown in bacon drippings. Transfer to a 1-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, mayonnaise, corn syrup and onion; spread 1/4 cup over chicken. Top with bacon and mushrooms. Sprinkle with cheese.
Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Serve with remaining honey mixture. Yield: 2 servings.

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
