In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and honey.
Pound the chicken with a meat mallet to 1/2-inch thickness, and sprinkle it with steak seasoning. Grill the chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat until a thermometer reads 165°F. It should take four to six minutes on each side. Top it with cheese during the last minute of cooking.
Grill the buns over medium heat, cut side down, until toasted, 30 to 60 seconds. Serve the chicken on the buns with bacon, the mayonnaise mixture and, if desired, lettuce and tomato. Editor's Tip: Toasting your buns is an important step that adds a nice buttery crunch to the dish and prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.

Pound the chicken to even 1/2-inch thickness before cooking so it cooks uniformly. Grill 4–6 minutes per side over medium heat until a thermometer reads 165°F—don't overcook past that point.
Cook the chicken, bacon, and honey mustard sauce ahead and refrigerate separately. Assemble and toast the buns just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Broil the chicken 4 inches from the heat for 4–6 minutes per side until it reaches 165°F. You can also pan-sear in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Toasting the buns adds a buttery crunch and creates a barrier that prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy when topped with the mayonnaise mixture.
Yes, but bone-in breasts are thicker and will take longer to cook through—check that the thermometer reads 165°F in the thickest part, which may take 8–10 minutes per side.
