Holy Cow! This was good chicken!! Sweet & tangy and topped with bacon & cheese - what's not to like?!?! Simple to make. I let it marinate overnight in the honey mustard mixture and it makes for a quick and easy weeknight meal. All my favorite things!! I love to make this during the week, but it is worthy of company. I will be making this again!

While the chicken marinates, fry up some bacon. When finished reserve 1/4 cup of the bacon grease and clean out skillet.
When the chicken is finished marinating, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove chicken from the refrigerator and pour off excess marinade. Heat half of the reserved bacon grease with an equal quantity of canola oil in the clean skillet over medium high heat. When the grease is hot add 2 or 3 pieces of chicken to it. Cook until brownish/blackish, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a large baking sheet . If cooking many pieces of chicken, repeat skillet process and remove to baking sheet. Place chicken into preheated oven and cook for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
Lay a few pieces of bacon over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with cheese. Return baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese has melted and bacon is sizzling.
