The key to great stuffed chicken breasts is to start them on the stove so they get seared and golden on the outside and then finish them in the oven to cook them through.

The salty bacon and cheese plus the golden mushrooms create an awesome flavor combination. Adding a simple creamy honey mustard glaze takes them way over the top. This is a lick your plate clean kind of chicken recipe.
