1/4 cup shredded cheese PER person

  • Sprinkle each breast with seasoning salt and white pepper on both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cook bacon until crisp in frying pan.  Drain on paper towels.
  • Add chicken breasts to hot bacon fat and brown well on both sides ~ 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Whisk together the honey and Country Bob’s sauce.
  • As you remove chicken from frying pan dip it in the honey mixture and then place  in a prepared baking dish.
  • Pour remaining honey sauce over top of chicken pieces.
  • Add onions and mushrooms to the bacon grease and saute until tender. Drain well.
  • Crumble bacon over the chicken pieces.
  • Spoon onions and mushrooms over chicken breasts.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top.
  • Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.**
  • Serve over mashed potatoes and use any remaining sauce in the pan to top the potatoes.

**I like to use chicken steaks instead of breasts because they are thinner and we’re eating less these days.  If you do this, decrease your cooking time accordingly.
