Instructions

1
Season thin-sliced chicken breasts on both sides with Creole seasoning, or salt and pepper.
2
Heat bacon grease or butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions and sauté until tender and browned.
3
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
4
Once the mushrooms and onions are tender, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
5
Add the seasoned chicken to the same skillet, adding more bacon grease if needed. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
6
Return the cooked mushrooms and onions to the skillet, layering them on top of the chicken breasts.
7
Spoon the honey mustard sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Top with crumbled bacon and shredded cheese.
8
Transfer the skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
9
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot, with extra sauce for dipping if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dry the chicken thoroughly before seasoning and searing to achieve a golden crust without excess moisture steaming the surface.
Use medium-high heat and don't move the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side to develop a flavorful brown crust before adding toppings.
Cook mushrooms and onions separately first until caramelized, then layer them on the chicken to prevent sogginess.
Apply the honey mustard sauce directly onto hot chicken so it adheres; add cheese while the pan is still warm to ensure even melting.

Substitutions

Cremini mushrooms → baby portobello or button mushrooms (similar flavor and texture)
Bacon grease → olive oil or butter (use 2 tbsp; bacon grease adds richness but oil is a neutral alternative)
Dijon mustard → whole grain mustard (slightly earthier, more texture)
Mayonnaise → sour cream mixed with Greek yogurt at 1:1 ratio (tangier, lighter sauce)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a 350°F oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes, to avoid drying the chicken.
