Alice Springs Chicken

This is one of the most familiar items on the menu at Outback Steakhouse—I seriously think I’ve only eaten their three times, but certainly ate this each time I was there. Good stuff. I can’t say if it really tastes like the “real thing” but it is good regardless!

Ingredients
4 chicken breast, pounded to an even thickness
1 bottle Lawry's Original Seasoned Salt marinade
4 slices bacon
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cups cheddar jack cheese, shredded
1/2 cup honey mustard dressing

Directions

1. Marinate the chicken in the Lawry's Original Seasoned Salt marinade for at least 30 minutes.  The longer the better.

2. While the chicken is marinating, cook the bacon in a large skillet.  Set aside.  Reserve 2 Tablespoons of bacon fat.  Sauté mushrooms in bacon fat until softened.  Set aside.

3. Grill the chicken 12-15, minutes until done.  You can also cook the chicken in a skillet on the stove if desired.

4. Preheat the broiler on your oven.  Place cooked chicken on a rimmed baking sheet.  Spread 1-2 Tbsp honey mustard on cooked chicken.  Top with bacon, mushrooms and cheese.  Broil until cheese is melted.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:

I am a bit of a thrifty shopper and wasn’t buying the marinade since I had the actual Lawry’s Seasoning Salt in my cabinet. I just sprinkled the chicken with it and let it sit in the fridge about a 1/2 hour.

I also used plain old cheddar—it was what was in the fridge!  Still very tasty!
