If you just are out of pounding tools, make the dish as is, unpounded and just cook the chicken longer, maybe up to 5 to 10 minutes. the result will be just as tasty--just takes a little longer in the pan.

Equipment

Ingredients

1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 10 to 12 ounces)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon butter
4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup low fat shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon white wine (or chicken broth or water)
2 tablespoons real bacon bits
1 green onion, finely chopped

Instructions

Slice the chicken in half and place each half on a sheet of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, empty wine bottle, or rolling pin, slightly pound the breasts to about 1/3-inch width. Set aside on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, mayonnaise, honey and vinegar, then set aside.
Heat the butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Then lightly spray the pan. Saute the mushroom over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until softened. Season the mushrooms lightly with pepper as they cook. When soft, transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add the chicken and brown over medium-high heat on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Chicken will have almost cooked through.
Top each breast with mushrooms and divide the cheese between the two breasts. Add the wine, cover and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through.
Place on plates, cover lightly with sauce and sprinkle the bacon bits and green onions over the top.
