How to Make Harvest Moon Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Cover the horseradish mixture and refrigerate while preparing the chicken.
  4. Lightly spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray.
  5. Place 4 (6-ounce) frozen chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to an oven-safe platter.
  8. Spoon the chilled horseradish mustard sauce evenly over each chicken breast.
  9. Sprinkle each breast with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon.
  10. Broil for 1-1.5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
  11. Just before serving, sprinkle each breast with a pinch of paprika.
