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

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, mayonnaise, keto sugar substitute, and half of the green onions; set aside.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10‑12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. 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.
