Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 small chicken breast (1 to 1 1/2 pounds total)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 4 ounces mushrooms
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated

Directions:

Combine honey, mustard, mayo, and lemon juice in a small bowl.

Place the chicken in a plastic storage bag and pound out until chicken is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Add half the honey mustard sauce to the bag and marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours (can be left for 24 hours).

When ready to cook, heat two skillets over medium heat. To one, add the oil, pepper, onions, and mushrooms. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 1o to 15 minutes, until very soft. To the other skillet, add the chicken. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes and then flip. After another 5 to 7 minutes, add a little of the reserved honey mustard sauce to the chicken, and then top with the sauteed vegetables and the cheese. Cover for a couple minutes, until the cheese melts, and then serve with remaining honey mustard sauce.

Serves 4.
