Aussie Chicken

I tried another new recipe from the recipe exchange this week. Allison sent this recipe, Aussie Chicken, found on AllRecipes.com. I am always looking for new chicken recipes since Ryan tends to be "anti-chicken". This recipe sounded like a winner since the chicken was covered in bacon and cheese, two of our favorite foods!!! The result was fantastic... Ryan ate all of his and about 1/3 of mine! That is success in our house when it comes to chicken!

Aussie Chicken
Modified from AllRecipes.com
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
6 slices bacon, cut in half
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Rub the chicken breasts with the seasoning salt and Worcestershire. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Saute Mushrooms in large skillet with butter. Remove from pan and set aside.
Place bacon in skillet. Cook over medium high heat until crisp. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the mustard, honey, corn syrup, mayonnaise and dried onion flakes. Remove half of sauce, cover and refrigerate to serve later.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the breasts in the skillet and saute for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned.
Remove from skillet and place the breasts into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Apply the honey mustard sauce to each breast.
Then layer each breast with mushrooms and bacon.
Sprinkle top with shredded cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken juices run clear. Garnish with parsley and serve with the reserved honey mustard sauce.
