What can be better than bacon and mushrooms on chicken smothered with cheese and honey mustard sauce? Kind of a rhetorical question but this chicken recipe is fabulous and easy to make.
It is very important to flatten the chicken as much as possible prior to grilling. Doing so will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
We also like to use block cheese and grate it ourselves. The packaged shredded cheese does not seem to melt as well.
