How to Make Aussie Chicken

1. Pat 2 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub 1 ½ teaspoons seasoning salt evenly over chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Cook 4 slices bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon grease in the skillet.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons corn syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes.
5. Divide honey mustard sauce in half. Cover and refrigerate one half for serving later.
6. Heat the reserved bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and sauté for 3-5 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
7. Transfer chicken breasts to a 9x13 inch baking dish.
8. Spread the remaining honey mustard sauce over the chicken breasts. Top each breast with 2-3 slices of cooked bacon and ½ cup sliced mushrooms (about 2-3oz).
9. Sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and bacon.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with the reserved honey mustard sauce.
