How to Make Alice Springs Chicken

  1. In a small bowl, stir together mustard, honey, corn syrup, and mayonnaise until smooth and free from lumps. The corn syrup may be adjusted depending on how sharp the mustard might be, or to your taste.
  2. Rub chicken breast with Seasonal All and marinate for 1 hour.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, fry bacon until crisp and drain.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with just enough oil to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.

  6. Spread chicken breasts with honey mustard, cover with a layer of mushrooms, three slices of bacon, and then sprinkle with shredded Colby/Jack cheese (chicken should be covered with shredded cheese).

What To Serve With This Alice Springs Chicken Recipe

This flavorful chicken tastes wonderful with steamed, air-fried, or grilled veggies. Try serving it with Oven Roasted Asparagus or Air Fryer Broccoli. You can also serve it with freshly baked dinner rolls, pasta, or basic wild rice.

Since the chicken is so divine, you don’t need your side dishes to be overpowering in flavor. You can always drizzle some of the honey mustard mixture over the rice and veggies, and it tastes phenomenal.

How To Store The Leftover Chicken

Store leftovers in an airtight container. Make sure the chicken is entirely cooled before you store it. Otherwise, moisture might build up and make it soggy. Enjoy it for 3-4 days!

If you would like to freeze it, you can use an airtight container for that method, too! I would suggest eating it within three months to have a pleasant taste and texture when thawed. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before you plan to reheat it.

How To Reheat Outback Alice Springs Chicken

The best way to reheat this is definitely in the oven. Heat your oven to 350°F, check on them after 20 minutes, and keep cooking if needed to ensure they reach 165°F internally.

You can also use a microwave if you are short on time, but the oven is suggested since it will taste as fresh as the first time!
