Description

Easy to make whether you’re camping in your kitchen or outdoors over a fire. Will bring those rowdy ruffians running.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Dijon Mustard
  • ½ cups Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 2 pounds Chicken Quarters Or Breasts
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 whole Onion, Sliced
  • 8 slices Bacon
  • ¾ cups Monterey Jack Cheese
  • ¾ cups Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

Heat oven to 375ºF.

In a flat-bottomed bowl, combine dijon, honey, pepper, salt, tabasco and paprika; mix well.

Add chicken to honey Dijon and let sit for no less than 30 minutes, the longer the better.

In a large oven proof skillet, melt butter and add chicken. Brown on all sides until nearly cooked, about 10 minutes.

Add onions to the pan.

Lay or wrap each piece of chicken with bacon strips and drizzle some of the marinade over the whole thing.

Top with cheeses and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until cooked through but cheese is not burned.

Note: you may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size and thickness of your chicken parts.

I made ths for the first time tonight and both my husband and I thought it was very good. I did saute the onions along with some green bell peppers before adding to the bottom of the casserole dish I used. I placed the chicken on top, basted with more marinade and added crisped bacon to eliminate some of the grease. I think next time I’ll try using pepper jack cheese.

I added the cooked bacon and cheese the last 5 minutes of baking. My family enjoyed this simple recipe. Thank you for sharing!

Very flavorful! Only thing I would change is rendering a bit of the fat from the bacon and crisping it up a bit before placing it on top of the chicken, just because I like my bacon to be crispy. We’ll definitely make this again!
