Incredible chicken breast smothered in honey mustard, crunch bacon, and mushrooms!

This easy smothered chicken breast was inspired by a restaurant I used to go to called Montana Mikes. They had what was called the Mountain Topper Chicken and it was my FAVORITE!

My version is made on the Blackstone because it’s my favorite way to cook many of our dishes. If you love Blackstone as much as I do, be sure to try out my Blackstone Griddle Juicy Smash Burger (my most popular recipe), Blackstone Breakfast Burritos, Blackstone Philly Cheesesteak, and Blackstone Chicken Fried Rice.

Blackstone Chicken Expert Tips

  • Uniform Sized Chicken – It’s helpful to cut the chicken so it’s sized the same. This way you don’t have to worry about some pieces cooking faster than others.
  • Swap the mustard – If you don’t like honey mustard, feel free to use Dijon instead. Both are delicious!
  • Shred the cheese – I know you may want to save yourself a step, but it’s so much better when you shred the cheese yourself. YUM!
