Easy Outback Alice Springs Chicken Recipe - Delicious Copycat Version
Recreate the famous Alice Springs Chicken at home with this easy, cheesy, bacon-loaded recipe topped with honey mustard sauce—just like the restaurant favorite!
Ingredients
Chicken breast – Use boneless skinless chicken breasts or skinless chicken breasts for best results.
- Honey mustard sauce – This is the heart of the recipe! You’ll need Dijon mustard honey, and mayonnaise.
Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese – These melt perfectly for that iconic gooey topping.
- Mushrooms – Sliced and sautéed until golden brown.
Bacon – Cooked until crispy for that smoky crunch.
- Seasonings – Salt pepper, and a dash of paprika go a long way.
Instructions
Marinate the chicken: In a ziplock bag, toss the chicken in the homemade honey mustard sauce. Let it rest for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
- Sear the chicken: Place the chicken in a pan over medium-high heat to sear the chicken until browned—about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Bake the chicken: Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Add sautéed mushrooms and crispy bacon on top. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the chicken.
- Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Drizzle with more honey mustard sauce on the side, if desired.
