Ingredient Notes
- Dijon Mustard & Honey: This creates a bold, tangy-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the chicken.

- Mushrooms: Sautéed in avocado oil, they add a savory depth that takes this dish to another level.
- Bacon: Adds crunch and smoky goodness—don’t skip it!

6. Layer the Toppings: Evenly distribute the cooked mushrooms, chopped bacon, and shredded cheese over each chicken breast.
7. Melt the Cheese: Cover the chicken with a large griddle dome or tent with foil to help the cheese melt.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve hot.
Tips & Variations

Storing & Reheating
1. Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
2. Reheat: Warm on a low-heat griddle or in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
3. Freezing: Not recommended, as the cheese may become grainy.
