This restaurant-style Alice Springs Chicken captures the essence of the beloved Outback Steakhouse dish. Tender chicken breasts are immersed in a tangy honey mustard marinade, then topped with sautéed mushrooms, smoky bacon, and a generous layer of melted Colby Jack cheese. It's an indulgent and savory main course perfect for recreating a steakhouse experience at home.
Chicken: While this recipe uses whole chicken breasts, quick-cooking cutlets or boneless thighs can be substituted as long as the total weight remains around 1 ½ pounds for four servings.
Mushrooms: Feel free to omit if not preferred—this step won't affect the overall integrity of the dish.
Cheese: Colby Jack is recommended, though other shredded cheese varieties can be used as substitutes.
Yield: One chicken breast with all toppings and sauce per serving.
Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 4 days.
Make Ahead: Chicken may be marinated up to 24 hours in advance.
