Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken


  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Topping:

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms, sautéed in butter until soft
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Chicken

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown but not fully cooked through. Remove and place in the prepared baking dish.

3. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.

4. Assemble the Dish

  1. Spread a generous spoonful of the honey mustard sauce over each chicken breast, ensuring the tops are evenly coated.
  2. Divide the sautéed mushrooms and crumbled bacon evenly over the chicken.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each chicken breast.

5. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C) and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  2. Optional: Broil for the last 2–3 minutes to achieve an extra golden crust (watch closely to avoid burning).

6. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
  2. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
  3. Enjoy every bite of this creamy, cheesy, and indulgent Alice Springs Chicken!
  4. Perfect as a standalone meal or paired with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete spread.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mushrooms, high-quality cheese, and real honey make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute chicken with pork chops or even tofu for variety.
  • Add Veggies: Stir in sautéed spinach or caramelized onions for extra nutrition and depth of flavor.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
