This is a repeat 😉 it’s an easy, delicious chicken breast recipe that uses a honey mustard sauce. I adjust sauce ingredients to our taste; less vinegar, more mustard, more honey 🍯 😋 I don’t exactly count my chicken breasts either; used 5 on this occasion. I didn’t have green onions or chives this time 🫨 rare! But, I have herbs still growing in 100°+ temperatures 🌿 so I used a little thyme. I also forgot to add more bacon for the last 5 minutes 🥓 I got distracted 😅 Luckily, this chicken breast recipe turns out moist and tender! My daughter smiled about extra bacon. There was enough on it anyway 😜 I didn’t get great pics; I tried 🤭 kinda… This time, I served it with little air fryer Mexican street corn 🌽 So good! And applesauce 🍎 This was a

delectable dinner‼️

Ingredients

• 4 thin-sliced chicken breasts or 2 large chicken breasts cut in half horizontally (about 1 lb. total)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or other vinegar of choice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• ⅛ teaspoon salt and a dash of pepper
• ¼ cup chopped fresh chives or green onions
• ⅓ cup chopped cooked bacon (divided) (about 1 ounce or 7 slices)*
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
• In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt and pepper.
• Place chicken in a large baking dish (about 9-inch by 13-inch) that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with a little bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
• Pour honey mustard sauce over chicken and toss to make sure that each piece of chicken is well coated. Top with chives, half of the bacon, and cheddar cheese (in that order).
• Bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F and chicken is cooked through. The total cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts. During the final 5 minutes, add remaining bacon to the top of the chicken. It will get nice and crispy as the chicken finishes cooking
• Garnish with additional fresh chives just before serving, if desired.
