Wife’s Birthday
Yesterday it was my wife’s birthday. I had a dozen roses shipped off to where she works. And yes it went over quite well, especially where she works with all women. So the oohhing and aahhing was at its maximum.
Other than some small gifts I cooked up an incredible dinner. Never made it before but it went over real well. What you do is marinate boneless skinless chicken breasts in 1/2 cup of Dijon Mustard, 1/2 cup of Honey, and like 4 teaspoons of Vegetable Oil. Let that marinate for at least 2 hours. Personally I let it sit in the stuff all day long. Make sure to have some extra marinade sitting off to the side in the refrigerator for later.
While it is marinating you will need to half cook some bacon strips. Plan to have 2 pieces per chicken breast. When it is finally time to start cooking, take the chicken out of the marinade and place onto a skillet and lightly brown it. Then place the chicken in a glass pan and squirt lemon juice all over it. In the same skillet sautee up some freshly cut mushrooms.
When the mushrooms are completely done spoon on the marinade you set aside to chill. Then take 2 half cooked pieces of bacon and criss-cross them over each chicken breast. Place sauteed mushrooms on top of the bacon. Then shred Monterey Jack and Cheddar Cheese all over the chicken. Put it in the oven at 375 degrees and cook for like 20-25 minutes or until done.
Enjoy!
Boy, was it deeeeelicious!
