Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Cook the chicken using your preferred method: Grill over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes per side, or skillet-sear in oil or butter until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms until browned and tender.
Preheat the oven to 400°F or set the broiler on high.
Place cooked chicken on a baking sheet. Brush generously with honey mustard sauce.
Top each piece with sautéed mushrooms, your savory topping of choice, and shredded cheese.
Melt the cheese by broiling 2–3 minutes or baking 5–7 minutes until bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a juicier option.

Try different cheeses like mozzarella, provolone, or Monterey Jack.

Swap mushrooms for caramelized onions or sautéed bell peppers.

Double the honey mustard sauce for extra dipping.

Add hot sauce or cayenne to make it spicy.
