Prepare the dressing by whisking honey, dijon mustard, ground mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl.
Marinate the chicken in one-third of the dressing for at least 30 minutes.
In a pan over medium heat, cook turkey bacon until crispy; set aside. In the same pan, cook marinated chicken until golden brown on both sides. Slice the chicken once cooked.
