Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a clean skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

    Sauté the sliced mushrooms for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.

    Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. Sear the Chicken: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the seasoned chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until lightly golden.

    Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.

  4. Prepare Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and paprika (if using).

    Reserve about 1/4 cup of the sauce for drizzling later.

  5. Assemble the Dish: Pour the remaining honey mustard sauce over the seared chicken breasts. Top each piece with the sautéed mushrooms,
  6. Add Cheese and Bake: Combine the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese in a bowl. Generously sprinkle the cheese mix over each chicken breast. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  7. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with the reserved honey mustard sauce before serving.

Note

  • Serving Suggestion: Pair this dish with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a side salad to make a complete meal.
  • Variations: If you prefer a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey mustard sauce.
  • Substitutions: Swiss cheese can be used in place of Monterey Jack for a slightly different flavor.
