Ingredients

4 slices hickory smoked bacon

1/2 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves (not ground)
2 chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons butter cut into several pieces
salt and pepper to taste
chives for garnish optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small skillet, cook 4 slices hickory smoked bacon until crisp. Remove to drain and crumble. Set aside.
In a 9x9-inch glass baking dish, stir 1/4 cup dijon mustard, 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves (not ground), 2 cubed chicken breasts, salt and pepper together until well mixed. Dot the top with several pieces of 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and bake 20 minutes.
Remove from oven, stir, top with cooked bacon and bake another 5 minutes.
Stir again, top with chives and serve over rice.

Notes

Storing. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last up to 5 days. Make sure store the chicken in all of the sauce.
Reheat in the microwave. Be careful when reheating chicken in the microwave as it can easily become rubbery and dry. Reheat for 30-second intervals until warm.
Reheat on the stove. Warm in a skillet over medium-low heat.
To freeze. Let the chicken cool completely before sealing in a freezer bag. Frozen chicken will last up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight.
