Cheesy Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon

As I mentioned in my French Onion Soup Post, I cooked a romantic 3 course meal for my friend who I'm going to name DashGlowPrincess for anonymity. So the main course was Cheesy Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Bacon with a side of Crispy Herbed Baked Potatoes. It was so super good. I seem to say that for all the stuff I cook and post on this. I'm just that awesome I guess. If that romantic dinner was actually for a potential lover/suitor, I would be married with a child or two by now. One would be a food baby and the other would be a love child. It was THAT good. You must agree that bacon makes anything taste awesome.

Your Challenge: get stuffed eating the good stuff.

Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushroom

Had a few friends over last night just for funzies, and thought I'd make some delish chicken. Well I was actually meant to study with them, but it turned in to a rather messy drunken escapade. As we do.We have now named  the dish "P's Special", because Honey Mustard Chicken with Bacon and Mushroom is just too long and not very classy.

 

What I generally  do is, use the recipe as a base and then mix in other stuff to give it my own twist.. So with the flavouring of the Honey Mustard marinade I just added a bit of chilli powder to give it a bit of kick, and more lemon juice because when life gives you lemons you need to make a kick as marinade with it. Also, I didn't have Dijon mustard so I just used English mustard seed something something that was in my fridge instead. So basically, I changed the whole recipe. Whoopsy daisies.. But in the end it turned out really well. That's all that really matters at the end of the day. 

Your challenge: Give it a go and let me know, how your chicken goes with your bros!
