This is one delicious chicken dish! My hubby LOVED it. It's not super healthy for you, so it won't be a regular... but it will make frequent appearances in our menus.

Smothered "Aussie" Chicken - Modified by Snow White (from Sherry at Happy to be at Home)
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp. seasoning salt
6 slices of bacon, cut in half
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
3-4 T spicy brown mustard
3-4 T honey
1 T dried minced onion
1 C shredded cheeses; extra sharp cheddar and Monterey jack

Sprinkle chicken breasts with seasoning salt (we used salt-free season salt); cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Cook bacon (either in a frying pan or in the microwave) until crispy; set aside. Place chicken breasts in a skillet and saute for 3-5 minutes per side, or until browned (if you need to, add a little olive oil). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While chicken is browning, in a medium bowl, combine mustard, honey and onion flakes. Stir well to mix.

Place chicken in a 9x13 glass pan. Coat chicken with honey mustard mixture (we dipped our chicken in the sauce and then applied leftover sauce to the top of the chicken breasts).
