Honey Mozzarella Chicken

Easy Honey Mozzarella Chicken by pleclare

I wasn't going to add this here since I changed it so much, but I thought maybe someone might like to see my recipe change up?
I've made similar versions of this with honey many times. But I only had expensive raw honey that is creamed, so I decided to use pure Maple syrup instead of honey. I cut the syrup to a 1/2 cup, and the mustard to a 1/4 cup. I used a grainy brown mustard.
I made slashes in the chicken and rubbed it with a garlic clove and sprinkled on the lemon pepper seasoning called for. I added all the ingredients except the bacon and cheese to a large ziploc bag and let marinade for a few hours. When it was time to bake, I wrapped 2 thin strips of bacon around each portion and left out the excess marinade/sauce ( which wasn't much as the chicken soaked it all up!)
I baked it for 20 minutes, then broiled it on low for 5 minutes to get the bacon crisp. Topped it with cheese and broiled until the cheese melted.
It was so good, and the kids devoured it too!! The spiciness and tanginess of the mustard pairs well with the earthy, smokiness of the pure maple syrup. I didn't detect any sweetness at all, and wasn't spicy either so it was well balanced with the half cup of syrup to 1/4 cup mustard. I'll definitely make it this way again!

This IS a good one, and great picture, glad to hear maple syrup worked well in place of the honey.

Awesome photo, Cosmicmother! Makes me hungry. Great idea to use maple syrup. Would never have thought of it. If you don't want your creamed honey, you can send it to me. I can't have it in the house or I will eat the entire jar with just a spoon!
