Honey Mustard Chicken

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN

This is a recipe I got from my sister, but I didn't have all the ingredients so I improvised.

3 boneless chicken breast halved, cut into 4 pieces
garlic salt and lemon pepper to taste
3/4 C honey
1/2 C prepared mustard
1/2 lb bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 C shredded cheese

*Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken in baking dish and sprinkle with garlic salt (I use garlic salt in just about all my cooking, if you couldn't tell) and lemon pepper, set aside. In small mixing bowl whisk together honey and mustard. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn oven to Broil and add bacon to chicken. Broil for about 7 minutes, or until bacon starts to crisp. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheese and put back in oven to broil for about 5 minutes until bacon is crisp and cheese is melted.

Just before going in the oven

There was a lot more sauce than I was expecting. So next time I could cut down the amount of honey and mustard or I think it would be good on top of rice. I think I would like the bacon crispier so next time I would partially cook the bacon before adding it to the chicken. That way the bacon is crisp and you can cook some of the fat out before adding it to the chicken. The original recipe also calls for mozzarella cheese. I think that would taste better.
