Autumn Chicken

Autumn Chicken


2 chicken legs
2 chicken thighs
1 tbsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
½ cup Dijon mustard
½ cup honey
2 slices bacon, halved
4 mushrooms, halved
2 slices Monterey Jack cheese, halved
2 slices Muenster cheese, halved

Combine lime juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard and honey in medium bowl and beat with electric mixer just until frothy.  Remove skin from chicken.  Place in zip lock bag and pour ¾ of the mustard mixture over the chicken.  Let stand for at least two hours.

Preheat oven to 350º. In a cast iron fry pan cook the bacon until crisp; sauté the mushrooms briefly in the last minute or so of cooking bacon.  Remove bacon and mushrooms.  Sear chicken in pan for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

In same pan, brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved honey mustard marinade.  Lay one half of bacon pieces on each piece of chicken, top with two slices of mushrooms and top with the cheeses. 

Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes until the cheeses are thoroughly melted and starting to bubble.
