Description

This Alice Springs Chicken is a steakhouse favorite that combines juicy grilled chicken breasts topped with honey mustard sauce, crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and a blanket of melted Colby Jack cheese. It’s a rich, savory, and indulgent dish with the perfect balance of smoky, cheesy, and tangy flavors—just like the one served at Outback Steakhouse.

Ingredients For Alice Spring Steakhouse Chicken Recipe

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • ½ cup honey mustard sauce (store-bought or homemade)

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced and sautéed in butter

  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese (or mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking chicken)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    • Pound chicken breasts slightly to even thickness.

    • Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. Cook the Chicken

    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Sear chicken on both sides until golden brown (about 3–4 minutes per side).

    • Transfer to a baking dish.

  3. Layer the Toppings

    • Brush chicken generously with honey mustard sauce.

    • Place 1–2 bacon strips over each chicken breast.

    • Spoon sautéed mushrooms evenly on top.

    • Sprinkle with shredded Colby Jack cheese.

  4. Bake

    • Place baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).

    • Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. Serve

    • Garnish with fresh parsley.

    • Serve hot with mashed potatoes, fries, or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • For an authentic Outback-style flavor, use plenty of honey mustard sauce both for basting and dipping.

  • If you prefer a smoky taste, use smoked paprika and applewood-smoked bacon.

  • Works great with boneless chicken thighs as well for a juicier variation.

Tips

  • Marinate chicken in honey mustard for 2 hours before cooking for extra flavor.

  • Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting.

  • Cook bacon until crispy before layering—it prevents sogginess.

  • Add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.

Servings

  • Serves 4 people
