Alice Springs Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Toppings:
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Honey Mustard Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using an oven, preheat it to 375°F (190°C).
  • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
  • Brush the chicken with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
  1. Grill or Bake the Chicken:
  • Grilling: Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Baking: Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:
  • In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Add Toppings:
  • Once the chicken is cooked, top each breast with crumbled bacon.
  • Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
  • If grilling, close the grill lid for a few minutes to melt the cheese. If baking, return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  1. Serve:
  • Drizzle the honey mustard sauce over the top or serve it on the side.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve your Alice Springs Chicken with your favorite sides, like a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or baked potatoes. Enjoy your homemade version of this Outback Steakhouse classic!
