Valentines Day (Man Friendly)

Easy and Delicious! About 40 minutes from start to finish for main course and side dish. Possibly less. I made this for dinner last night. This meal is easy, simple, and can made by husbands/boyfriends without even straining a muscle.

Bacon Chicken
4 boneless skinless chicken breast (pounded to 1/2 inch thickness)
Seasoning salt
6 slices bacon, cut in half
1/4 c Regular mustard
1/4 c honey
2 Tbs Mayo
1 c sliced mushrooms
Cheddar, shredded

Sprinkle and rub chicken with season salt and let set at least 30 minutes

Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and saute chicken in bacon grease for 3-5 minutes per side. Move chicken to 9x13 pan

In a small bowl, mix mustard honey, and mayo. Layer mushrooms, and bacon on top of chicken. Pour honey mustard on top of each chicken breast, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top to taste.

Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken is done. Serve with honey mustard on the side.

This recipe can be played with a little as well. These are the fun things you can do to make this your own: you can leave the mushrooms out of you don't like mushrooms, you can cheat time by using real bacon bits instead of fried bacon and frying your chicken in olive oil, you can use pepper jack cheese for an extra flare, or add onion flakes to the honey mustard. I do suggest making the homemade honey mustard for the recipe though, it really adds an amazing taste and it is really easy and fast to make.
