1largeboneless, skinless chicken breast (about 10 to 12 ounces)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2teaspoonsDijon mustard
2teaspoonslight mayonnaise
2teaspoonshoney
1teaspoonvinegar
1teaspoonbutter
4ouncesmushrooms, thinly sliced
¼cuplow fat shredded cheddar cheese
1tablespoonwhite wine (or chicken broth or water)
2tablespoonsreal bacon bits
1green 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 ⅓-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.
