Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey mustard sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and honey mustard. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor.
- While the chicken marinates, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Arrange marinated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with any leftover marinade and place crispy bacon strips on top.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over each piece of chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce from the baking dish over each portion.
