Outback Steakhouse "Alice Springs" Chicken (Copycat Recipe)

This easy and delicious honey mustard chicken recipe mimics the Alice Springs Chicken served at the Outback Steakhouse restaurants.

Ingredients:

6 slices bacon

4 boneless, skinless chicken breats

1 tablespoon seasoned salt or Old Bay Seasoning

1/4 cup yellow mustard

1/3 cup honey

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons dried onion

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms**

2 cups grated Colby Jack cheese

Method:

Cook the bacon until crispy. Chop. Save the grease and set aside.

Place the chicken breasts in a plastic bag or between to sheets of plastic. Pound with a rolling pin to a 1/2 inch thick thickness. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with the seasoning and rub in. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350*.

Saute the chicken in 2 tablespoons of bacon grease until lightly browned. (3 to 5 minutes on each side) Transfer to a lightly greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, honey, mayonnaise and dried onion, Spread the mixture on top of each chicken breast.

Top each piece of chicken with 1/4 cup mushrooms.**  Sprinkle with the bacon and the cheese.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked.

Serve with your choice of side dishes. Makes 4 to 8 servings.

**The original recipe includes mushrooms, but if you are serving to family or guests who do not like mushrooms, they may be omitted.

Notes: This baked chicken was a big hit when I served it to family! My 25 year old nephew ate a whole piece of chicken, but my husband and I were satisfied with just half of a chicken breast.

I served this chicken with a side salad of tomatoes,
red bell pepper and sliced red onion sprinkled with
lime juice, salt and pepper. Garlic Baked Potato
 Wedges also paired nicely with the chicken.
