Introduction

This came from Pioneer Woman's TV program. I have revised it somewhat, but maintained the integrity of the recipe. Not necessarily healthy, but want to know how to count it.

Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
    1/4 cup Honey
    1/4 whole (juice of) lemon
    1/4 tsp paprika
    1/4 tsp salt
    dash crushed red pepper
    2 large plump chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise
    8 slices bacon
    2 Tbsp bacon grease
    2 Tbsp canola oil
    1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

To begin, make the marinade. In a large bowl mix together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard with 1/4 cup of honey, the juice of 1/4 lemon, 1/4 t. paprika and 1/4 t. salt. Whisk until smooth. Sprinkle a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne if you like things a little spicy. Set aside.

Next, rinse two large, plump chicken breasts and slice in half lengthwise. This will create four thin chicken breasts, keeping their shape intact. Place the four chicken breasts in a glass cake pan and pour the marinade over them. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours. While the chicken is marinating, fry 8 slices of bacon. Reserve about 2 T of the bacon grease and clean out the skillet.

When the chicken is done marinating, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and pour off the excess marinade. Heat half the reserved bacon grease with an equal quantity of canola oil in the clean skillet over medium heat. When the grease is nice and hot, add 2 pieces of chicken to it. Cook until brownish/blackish about 1 to 1 1/2 min. per side. Remove the chicken to a large baking sheet and repeat with two more pieces. Place chicken in pre-heated and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven.

Lay 2 pieces of bacon over each chicken breast. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese over top of chicken. Return pan to oven for an additional five minutes until cheese is melted and bacon is sizzling.

Serve immediately on soft rolls. May add a slice of tomato or mayo at table upon serving if you like.
