Cheesy Mushroom-Bacon Chicken with Potatoes
4 servings
1 hour total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 8 oz whole fresh white mushrooms
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or fillets; about 1 ½ lb total)
  • Plastic wrap
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 gold (or russet) potatoes (20–24 oz total)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons honey Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 oz shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Quarter mushrooms. Place chicken between 2 pieces plastic wrap; pound thick ends lightly with meat mallet until chicken is even thickness. Coat chicken with garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons oil (wash hands).
    2. Bake bacon following package oven instructions. Prick potatoes with fork, place on microwave-safe plate, and microwave on HIGH 8–10 minutes until just fork-tender.
    3. Remove bacon from baking sheet. Add chicken and mushrooms to baking sheet and stir to coat with bacon drippings. Bake 18–20 minutes until mushrooms are tender and chicken is 165°F.
    4. Meanwhile, slice chives thinly. Combine mustard and mayonnaise until blended.
    5. Remove baking sheet from oven; top chicken evenly with mustard-mayonnaise mixture, bacon, mushrooms, and cheese. Return to oven and bake 4–5 more minutes until cheese is melted.
    6. Cut 2-inch-long slit across top of each potato; season with remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Top potatoes evenly with butter, sour cream, and chives. Serve chicken with potatoes.
