Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Net Carbs: ~4–5g per serving

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to 1/2-inch thickness)
• 1 teaspoon Lawry’s Seasoned Salt (or any chicken seasoning blend)
• 6 slices bacon
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or yellow if you prefer mild)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free honey substitute (such as Nature’s Hollow, ChocZero, or Allulose + a drop of honey extract)
• 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes (or 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh onion)
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional – omit if you don’t like them)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or bacon grease (for cooking)

Instructions

1. Season chicken:
   Sprinkle chicken breasts with seasoned salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook bacon:
   In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the pan.
3. Brown chicken:
   Sear chicken in the bacon grease (or olive oil) for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. It won’t be cooked through yet. Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
4. Make keto honey mustard sauce:
   In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, sugar-free honey substitute, and onion flakes until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness/seasoning to your liking.
5. Assemble:
   Spread sauce over each chicken breast. Top with mushrooms (if using), crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
6. Bake:
   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp) and cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve:
   Garnish with extra sauce if desired. Pairs beautifully with a side of cauliflower mash, roasted broccoli, or a green salad.
