A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, combining honey mustard glaze with crispy bacon and melted cheddar.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking and prevents dryness.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk.
Use a fork or whisk to ensure the mixture is well combined.
Place the flour on a plate.
Spread the flour evenly for easy coating.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat with flour on both sides.
Press the chicken into the flour to ensure a good coating.
Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Drain any excess oil from the skillet. Brush the chicken with honey mustard on both sides.
Brush generously to ensure a flavorful glaze.
Top each chicken breast with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon slices. Cover with a lid until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
Covering the skillet helps the cheese melt evenly.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional honey mustard if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
