You and your family will love this juicy chicken in a creamy mustard sauce. It's sprinkled with cheese and bacon bits and chopped green onions.
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
2/3 c. Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Mustard Sauce
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 lb. bacon
3 T. green onions, thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking/casserole dish. Use the bottom of a jar to "whack" the chicken a few times on the thickest parts of the breasts to tenderize the chicken.
Season breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Spread honey mustard sauce evenly over each breast; sprinkle the cheese evenly on top.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees and the juices of the chicken run clear.
While the chicken is in the oven, slice bacon into 1/2 inch strips.
In a saucepan on medium-high heat, add bacon strips; saute 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Scoop bacon out of the saucepan; drain on a paper towel lined plate to cool; set aside.
When chicken is done, remove from the oven; let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to evenly distribute.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions and bacon bits over the chicken.
6 servings.
