Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes or until soft and golden. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In the skillet, add a bit of oil if needed and cook the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Honey Mustard Dressing

  1. 4

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Assemble

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a leaf of lettuce and a slice of tomato. Top with the cooked chicken breast, followed by sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon, and a slice of Apple Jack cheese. Drizzle with honey mustard dressing, then cover with the top half of the bun.
