Name: Alice Chicken
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 pieces skinless boneless chicken breast halves; 5 fl oz Worcestershire sauce; 8 slices bacon; 2 tbsp butter; 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced; 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded; 1/2 cup honey mustard salad dressing

Steps

Place chicken into a glass dish or bowl. Poke chicken several times with a fork; pour in Worcestershire sauce and turn chicken until coated. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Cook bacon in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the bacon is cooking, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Place chicken into a baking dish.
Broil chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). During the last few minutes of cooking, top each breast with bacon and Monterey Jack cheese.
Top chicken breasts with sautéed mushrooms and drizzle salad dressing over top.

Chef's notes

Pat the chicken dry before broiling after removing it from the marinade; excess liquid steams the meat instead of browning it. Broilers vary wildly in intensity, so start checking internal temperature at the 4-minute mark per side using an instant-read thermometer; pull the chicken the moment it hits 165 degrees F to avoid dryness. Add the bacon and Monterey Jack cheese for the final 2 minutes only, not earlier; too much broiler time will burn the bacon and cause the cheese to separate and turn greasy. If Monterey Jack is unavailable, pepper jack is a smart 1-for-1 swap that keeps the melt and adds a mild heat that complements the honey mustard. Chicken can be marinated in the Worcestershire sauce up to 8 hours ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator; mushrooms can be sautéed and held in a covered pan up to 1 hour before serving, rewarmed gently over low heat.
