Ingredients

• Bacon, chopped – Regular-cut crisps best. Cook until fully crispy for the best texture.
• Mushrooms, sliced – White button or baby bella both work well. Slice evenly for even cooking.
• Small Onion, sliced – Yellow or white onion is best. Slice thin so it softens quickly.
• Shredded Colby-Jack cheese – Melts beautifully. Cheddar or Monterey Jack can be substituted. Freshly shredded melts best.

For the Honey Mustard Sauce: 

• Mayonnaise – Full-fat gives the creamiest texture.
• Honey – Adds sweetness to balance the mustard.
• Dijon Mustard – Provides tangy flavor. Yellow mustard can be used if needed.
• White Vinegar or Lemon Juice – Adds brightness and balance.
• Garlic Powder & Paprika – Add mild depth and color. Smoked paprika works for extra smoky flavor.

How to Make Blackstone Loaded Chicken

Step 1 – Heat Blackstone griddle to medium (375–400°F). Lightly oil the surface with about a Tablespoon of cooking oil such as vegetable oil, avocado oil, olive oil or butter. 

Step 2 – Whisk all honey mustard sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. 

Step 3 – Cook bacon on griddle surface until crispy over medium-high heat. Remove and push to the second side of the griddle.

Step 4 – In bacon fat, sauté mushrooms and onion until tender. Remove and push to a cooler side of the griddle with the bacon.  

Step 5 – Add the raw chicken breasts to the flat top grill and season chicken with salt and pepper.

Step 6 – Grill 5–6 minutes on one side untouched until the chicken is browned and a nice crust is formed. Flip the chicken and cook the other side for 5-6 minutes until the other side of the chicken is browned as well.  

Step 7 – Lower heat to medium-low. Spread honey mustard sauce over chicken.

Step 8 – Top with mushrooms, bacon, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.Cover with grill dome or tent loosely with foil.

Step 9 – Cook 3–5 minutes until cheese melts and chicken reaches 165°F. Remove from heat, serve warm and enjoy!
