Aussie Chicken!
Okay, so it's not easy to come up with a recipe that introduces your family to different tastes and mixes that they haven't experienced before ...especially when it comes to chicken! But, I cooked this rendition of Australian-Style Chicken last night, and the guys said it was different, good, hearty, and definitely hit all areas of the taste buds! ENJOY!
Aussie Chicken
Ingredients:
Directions:
Aussie Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 thickness (not a necessity, but it makes it oh so much easier to cook!)
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- 6 slices bacon, cut in half (feel free to add more, I sure did!)
- 1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup honey (I know, I know, honey mustard chicken right? Just wait!)
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups shredded Colby-Monterrey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
- Rub the chicken breasts with the seasoning salt, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium high heat until crisp. Set aside. Save bacon grease in skillet.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mustard, honey, corn syrup, mayonnaise, and dried onion flakes. Remove half of the sauce, cover, and refrigerate to serve later.
- Use the same skillet and bacon grease heated over medium heat. Place the breasts in the skillet and saute for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove from skillet and place the breasts into a 9x13 inch baking pan. Apply the sauce to each breast, then layer each breast with bacon. Sprinkle top with the shredded cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken juices run clear. Garnish with parsley and serve with the reserved sauce.
