A Favourite Chicken Dish

  I found this delicious chicken recipe a few months ago, and both my husband and I like it a lot.  So, I thought I would share the recipe here, so you all can make it and hopefully enjoy it as well.  :) 

  Cheddar, Bacon, Mushroom Chicken, served with sautéed spinach.  As a side note, spinach is one of my favourite vegetables! (fresh not canned) It's loaded with good vitamins and minerals, in fact, I might do a post next time on the benefits of eating spinach. :) But for now, here is the promised chicken recipe:

Cheddar, Bacon, Mushroom Chicken

Serves: 4 

Baking time: 25 minutes

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup olive oil

2 Tbsp natural sugar

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper 

2 boneless chicken breast, halved length wise 

2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms

8 bacon strips

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Mix mustard, olive oil, sweetener, paprika, sea salt, and ground pepper together in a bowl. Pour into a large, sealable bag and add chicken breasts. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours (the longer, the better).

Fry bacon. Set aside on paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Discard all but 1 Tbsp of bacon fat. Sauté  mushrooms in bacon fat.

Arrange chicken in a baking dish. Top each piece of chicken with two strips of bacon. Pour mushrooms over top and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.  Enjoy!

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
