Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup yellow mustard
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon keto sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped (plus a little extra for garnish)
- 3 pounds chicken breast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 6 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Colby‑Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, mayonnaise, keto sugar substitute, and half of the green onions; set aside.
- Pat chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Sear chicken breasts 3‑4 minutes per side until golden, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake chicken for 15 minutes, then flip and spoon the mustard‑mayo sauce over each breast. Top with cooked bacon, sliced mushrooms, and shredded Colby‑Jack cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake an additional 10‑12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve hot.
Notes
Tip: For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2‑3 minutes after adding cheese. Substitute bacon with turkey bacon for a lighter option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently to maintain texture.
