I love making this, it is just so tasty and easy to make at home. When I go to Outback Steakhouse, I’d rather order the steak than the chicken. Just because I’ve almost always got some chicken in the freezer. We normally have something chicken at least once a week. Like this Chicken Cacciatore or Chicken Margherita. Plus, chicken is almost always on sale somewhere and there’s so many different ways to make it, your family doesn’t ever have to get bored of having the same dinners over and over. 

I remember when hearing from a certain someone before they didn’t want any chicken dinners because when their mom made chicken it was always dry. Well, that’s unfortunate because your cutting out a lot of variety from your dinners if you eliminate chicken and hopefully you never have to have dry chicken again, no one wants that, and there’s an easy to solution.

If you use an internal thermometer, you’ll never ever have dry chicken again. That’s the secret don’t let it overcook, but chicken has to be done so it’s a pretty inexpensive solution to never having to complain about dry chicken. Plus if your smothering it in mushrooms, bacon, and cheese and have a yummy Honey Mustard dipping sauce, well friends that’s this amazing Copycat Outback Alice Springs Chicken.

Ingredients

Marinade (Reserve some for Honey Mustard dipping sauce):

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For Chicken:

  • salt and pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon butter or bacon drippings
  • 8 oz. Bella mushrooms
  • 1 cup Colby-Jack Cheese, grated
  • 2 Tablespoons Parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Whisk together mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce for dipping and refrigerate until serving time.
  2. Meanwhile, place the chicken breast in a large plastic zip-lock bag. Pour in remaining sauce and turn in bag until evenly coated. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat butter or bacon drippings in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until the mushrooms have started to turn brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
  4. With a paper towel wipe out any mushroom bits and add olive oil in the same oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. And chicken breast (seasoned with salt and pepper), shaking off excess marinade and discard the rest. Sear the chicken on one side until a golden-brown crust forms, about 5 minutes. Flip each piece and continue to cook until the second side is browned.
  5. Divide the mushrooms evenly over the chicken. Top each with 2 half pieces of cooked bacon and then cheese. Place the oven safe skillet in the oven (or transfer to non-stick or sprayed baking dish). Bake until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve with reserved honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
