HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN



 I love the honey mustard flavor.  I liked this a lot. This recipe has a basis from a recipe that is served at Outback Steakhouse called Alice Springs Chicken.This is my version which would serve about 4 people.  It is quick and easy to put together

Pound 8-10 chicken tenders a bit until flat.  Sprinkle with a little seasoning salt.  I used Costco’s Sweet Mesquite Seasoning and I thought it was great with the honey mustard.  I only sprinkled a little as it can overpower.  Cook 4-5 slices of bacon and cut up into ½ inch pieces.  I love pre-cooked bacon from Costco (which I keep in the freezer) because it is crisp after 30 seconds in the microwave. 

Brown the chicken in 2 T. oil in a frying pan.  I didn’t use mushrooms but it is a possibility, 8 oz. browned in the pan after the chicken.  Add a little more oil.   Place in a 9X13 baking casserole, Cover with the mushrooms if chosen.

Stir together:
1/3 C yellow mustard
1/2 C honey
3 T mayo
1 T onion powder or dried onion flakes.
¼ -½ tsp. salt and some generous grinds of pepper (depending on how much salt you put on the chicken)
Stir the sauce into the frying pan to pick up any bits of browned chicken flavor left.

Sprinkle the chicken with the bacon and pour the sauce over the Chicken.  Top with 1 C. grated cheese, Monterey Jack or Cheddar.  Bake covered for 20- 25 minutes.  If cold bake for 30-35 minutes.

Serve with Rice or a baked potato.
