Alice Springs Chicken (from Outback)

This is by far one of my favorite meals. In fact, I have this every year for my birthday. I just made it at home and it was so easy and so yummy!
Ingredients
1 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
12 slices bacon , cooked
3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions
1 With an electric mixer combine the mustard, honey, and 1 Tbsp oil, and lemon juice for 1 minute.
2 Pour 1/2 mixture over chicken in a gallon ziplock to marinate in fridge 2-24 hours.
3 Chill remaining marinade to serve with chicken.
4 After marinating chicken, preheat oven to 375°F Put remaining oil in frying pan. Heat and sear chicken on both sides.
5 Transfer chicken to oven safe pan and brush with marinade.
6 Meanwhile in frying pan add butter and saute mushrooms.
7 Season chicken breasts with salt and peppers.
8 Stack bacon across each breast, spoon mushrooms on each breast and then approx 1/3- 1/2 cup cheese on each.
9 Cover pan with foil and bake 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with honey mustard marinade.
