very good dish! hubby & 3 teens loved it..be careful to only partially cook bacon, I wasn't paying attention & mine got too crispy and when it baked, REALLY too crispy! Used Monterey AND extra sharp cheddar..didn't have Dijon mustard so used honey mustard and regular yellow mustard..didn't have paprika so not sure if it changes taste..also, my chicken breasts were big so I split them down middle & had 6 pieces..plenty to fill all pieces..when you transfer chicken to baking dish,put all pieces touching that way the cheeses don't completly run off..also, after sauteing mushrooms,pour that left over liquid over the chicken too..will definately make again!
