Alice Springs Chicken Copycat Recipe

Step 1

Let's begin by making the dressing. In a bowl, mix together the mayo, dijon mustard, and honey until well combined. Set the dressing aside for later.

Step 2

Now, it's bacon time! In a large pan with high sides, fry the bacon until it's deliciously crispy. Once done, remove the bacon from the pan and cut each slice in half.

Step 3

Butterfly the chicken breasts and season both sides with garlic salt and cracked black pepper.

Step 4

In the same pan with the remaining bacon grease, sauté the seasoned chicken over medium to medium-high heat until it turns a gorgeous golden brown. This should take about 5 minutes per side. Once cooked, set the chicken aside.

Step 5

Keep the party going in the same pan by adding the sliced white mushrooms. Sauté them in the bacon grease but also add a tablespoon of butter for extra richness. Cook until the mushrooms are delightfully golden brown.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). While the oven is heating up, get a baking sheet and cover it with foil for easy cleanup. Place a rack on top of the baking sheet.

Step 7

It's time to layer the magic! Arrange the chicken on the rack in this order: chicken, a generous portion of the honey mustard dressing you made earlier, sautéed mushrooms, two half slices of bacon on each piece of chicken, and finally, heap on plenty of freshly shredded Colby jack cheese.

Step 8

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the chicken bake for around 20 minutes or until the cheese is beautifully melted and golden.

Step 9

Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and get ready to taste the magic! Dunk your Alice Springs Chicken in some extra honey mustard, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and get ready to indulge in your very own Outback adventure at home!
