Outback Steakhouse is a casual dining American restaurant chain with over 900 locations in 23 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. It specializes American cuisine, with Creole influences served in a faux-Australian-inspired environment. All meat is heavily seasoned, including a 17 spice blend for the steaks themselves. Most seafood items are served with a Creole remoulade sauce.
Outback bills its food as "full flavor". This means it fries its food in vegetable shortening and uses real butter and heavy cream in many dishes. Healthy it's not.
But is is good.
The Alice Springs Chicken is one of the most popular items on the menu and now you can make it at home.
OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE'S ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN
Ingredients:
1 Jar of Honey Mustard Dressing or one batch of the Best Honey Mustard You've Ever Tasted
4 skinless, boneless Chicken Breast halves
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
2 cups sliced Mushrooms
2 tablespoons Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
Paprika
12 slices Bacon, fully cooked
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
and
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
or
2 cup shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
Directions:
Make a batch of The Best Honey Mustard You've Ever Tasted. Heck, make a double batch -- you'll love it. Pour about ½ of a single batch or ¼ of a double batch of the honey mustard in a bowl and add the chicken. Set in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours or, better yet, overnight. Save remaining honey mustard in a sealed container in 'fridge to use as a dipping sauce later. Preheat oven to 375 F Heat up the oil in a frying pan on the stove and sear each chicken breast 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer chicken to oven safe pan and brush with honey mustard. Salt and pepper breasts. Add butter to frying pan and saute mushrooms. Stack bacon across each breast, spoon mushrooms on each breast and then approx ½ cup of cheese on each. Cover pan with foil or lid and bake 7-10 minutes to melt cheese. Dust with paprika and serve with honey mustard.
Yum! Just like Matilda use to make.
