Copycat Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken Recipe

Who doesn’t love dining out on occasion? It’s one of those simple pleasures in life that every cook deserves from time to time. While I enjoy a night off from my kitchen duties so to speak, I find it hard to pay restaurant prices for some of my favorite restaurant entrees, in particular, when I feel I can make it at home. This Alice Springs Chicken is one such dish, and it can easily be recreated for your family any night of the week.

How to Make the Best Alice Springs Chicken Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Alice springs Chicken: Boneless skinless chicken breasts, mushrooms, bacon, garlic, colby jack cheese, mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, granulated garlic, onion powder, seasoned, salt, black pepper, shredded colby jack cheese, olive oil, butter and parsley for ganrishing.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large skillet, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, sharp knife and cutting board, cheese grater and turning spatula.
• For this recipe, I used generous sized 6-8 ounce breasts. As with any dish, take into consideration the size of the actual chicken pieces you’re using. Smaller pieces will take less time to cook and likewise, larger pieces need more time. Adjust accordingly, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Colby-Jack cheese seems to compliment this dish the best with the bonus of being readily available in any grocery store. If you want to add heat, use pepper-jack. If you want to be fancy smancy, go with Gruyere. In a pinch, good ole cheddar will do the trick.
• The honey mustard sauce is homemade. When making it, taste as you go. If you’d like a little more mustard or a little less honey, it’s fine to make those changes. For a time saver, you could adapt using your favorite dressing such as Ken’s Steakhouse honey mustard.
• You could also prepare the sauce in advance and pop it into the refrigerator for a time saver. This could be done up to one day in advance.
• If you prefer, the chicken pieces can be browned in bacon drippings left behind from frying the bacon.
• I typically use cremini or baby portabella mushrooms for this dish but, you can certainly use your favorite variety.
• Store cooked Alice Springs Chicken chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or air fryer just until heated through.

 

Southern Style Side Dishes to Serve with Alice Springs Chicken

I’m perfectly happy with this chicken and a salad. That said, a few side dishes you may consider:

• Classic Wedge Salad drizzled with bleu cheese dressing.
• Parmesan Smashed Potatoes are so simple to make in a sheet pan in the oven.
• Roasted Honey Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges are spicy and sweet.
• Green Bean and Potato Salad is a tasty way to enjoy a Southern favorite.
• Cheesy Garlic Bread on the side is always a winning choice.
• Copycat Honey Wheat Bread from i heart eating.
