Ingredients

For the Chicken and Marinade

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Toppings

4 slices cooked bacon (or turkey bacon for a lower-fat option)

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese blend

1 cup sliced mushrooms (sautéed in butter or olive oil)

For Garnish

Fresh parsley (chopped)

Extra honey mustard sauce (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Place chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and coat with the marinade.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for maximum flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken Grill Method:

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Lightly oil the grates and grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked.

Pan-Seared Method:

Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Oven-Baked Method:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 3: Add the Toppings

Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking dish if using the stovetop method.

Top each piece of chicken with sautéed mushrooms, a slice of bacon, and shredded cheese.

Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley and drizzle with additional honey mustard sauce.

Serve hot with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a fresh salad.

Notes

This homemade Alice Springs Chicken features juicy grilled chicken, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a sweet & tangy honey mustard sauce—just like the Outback Steakhouse version! Make it healthier by using turkey bacon, Greek yogurt-based sauce, or reduced-fat cheese.
