earlier this week, i made one of our favorite chicken recipes: a knockoff of alice springs chicken from outback.
i used to eat outback a lot, and my go-to meal was always alice springs chicken with cheese fries. doesn't get much better than that! now that we cook a lot more than we eat out, trips to outback are less common, but thankfully i can replicate the chicken at home.
[original recipe link here]
you will need:
-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
-6 bacon slices
-about 1/2 cup honey mustard
-1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
-2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
-lowry's seasoning salt
1. prepare chicken (which to me always means pounding to an even thickness and trimming fat). season both sides of each chicken breast with lowry's seasoning salt. place in refrigerator.
2. cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy. you want to crumble the bacon, so getting it crispy is important!

| yum. |
3. remove bacon from pan and set aside, leaving grease in the pan.
4. saute chicken in bacon grease for 3-5 minutes per side, or until browned. then place chicken in a foil-lined 13x9" pan.
 |
| chicken + bacon grease = heaven |
5. here is where you start assembling the chicken. you start with honey mustard, which you can buy already prepared, or just make your own. we don't normally have prepared honey mustard in the house, so i made my own using, wait for it...honey and mustard. i start with mustard then just stir in honey til it gets sweet!

6. spread honey mustard on top of chicken.
7. next, add sliced mushrooms. (it may look weird to add fresh mushrooms to this, but you really don't need to saute them beforehand! they will cook up just fine in the oven)
8. then comes the crumbly bacon.
9. finally, cheese!
10. bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
we had our chicken with pasta salad and sauteed asparagus, and it was so good. i'm getting hungry thinking about it! one of my favorite meals for sure.
enjoy!
