This copycat recipe of Outback’s Alice Springs Chicken creates one 9x13 pan suitable for a 5 person family. I usually double this recipe and create two pans so that we have easy leftovers the next night.

Instructions

Step 1

Be sure your honey mustard sauce is prepped beforehand and that you’ve already cooked your bacon. I recommend cooking bacon in the oven so it cooks crisp and flat.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400. Toss chicken tenders with seasoning. Melt butter in the olive oil in a large pan over medium high.

Step 3

Sear chicken tenders in 2 batches once pan is hot. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side until chicken is golden brown. It does not need to be cooked through at this point.

Step 4

Spoon small amount of honey mustard into bottom of 9x13 baking dish. As chicken comes off the skillet, place in rows in the baking dish on top of the honey mustard. Repeat process until all chicken tenders have been seared and placed in baking dish.

Step 5

In the same pan on the stove, place the mushrooms in the leftover olive oil and butter. Sauté for a few minutes until soft.

Step 6

Assemble chicken by placing bacon on the chicken followed by the mushrooms. Then, sprinkle the cheese. Finally, spoon the rest of the honey mustard on top.

Step 7

Bake at 400, uncovered, for approximately 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and cheese has melted. Cheese should remain gooey, not turn golden brown.
