Alice Springs Chicken (Outback Copycat Style)
This Alice Springs Chicken is a cozy, comfort-food classic inspired by the famous Outback Steakhouse dish. Juicy seasoned chicken breasts are seared until golden, then smothered with creamy honey mustard sauce, crispy bacon, and plenty of melted cheese. It’s rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying — perfect for family dinners or when you want a restaurant-style meal at home.
Ingredients
Chicken
-
4 large chicken breasts, sliced horizontally to make 8 thin pieces
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 tsp paprika
-
2–3 tbsp oil for cooking
-
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled or halved
-
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Honey Mustard Sauce
-
1/3 cup mayonnaise
-
1 tbsp honey
-
2 tsp stone-ground mustard
Optional
-
1 cup mushrooms, sautéed
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden (it doesn’t need to cook through yet).
Transfer to a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Whisk together mayonnaise, honey, and mustard until smooth.
Spread honey mustard sauce over each chicken piece.
Top with bacon, cheese, and mushrooms (if using).
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F internally and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Drizzle with extra honey mustard and serve warm.
Notes
✔ Slice chicken thinner for faster, even cooking
✔ Shred your own cheese for better melting
✔ Crisp bacon well so it stays crunchy
✔ Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra flavor
✔ Make extra sauce for dipping or drizzling
