How to make Alice Springs Chicken in Oven.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place defrosted chicken breasts on the pan in a single layer and sprinkle with seasoned chicken with salt. If you need to pound a piece of chicken to evenness, it’s fine to do so. Chicken cooks best and most even when all pieces are similar in size.
  3. Combine Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and dry minced onion in a separate bowl.
  4. Mix well and generously spread the honey mustard sauce onto the top of the chicken breasts.
  1. Top with sliced mushrooms and Colby Jack cheese.
  2. Sprinkle with bacon bits (or fresh bacon).
  3. Bake Alice Springs Chicken for 30 minutes in preheated oven or until the chicken is cooked in the center and the meat thermometer reads at 165 degrees in the thickest part of the chicken.

What to serve with Alice Springs Chicken?

In the Outback steakhouse restaurant itself, you have choices like an Ensalada Caprese salad, mashed potatoes, broccoli, or a variety of oven-roasted veggies like these carrots.

Pair up Copycat Alice Springs chicken with one of those side dishes and some dinner rolls, and you have an entire restaurant-quality meal without leaving the house.

Ensalada Caprese is a delicious and fresh Italian salad! It has juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil leaves. The tomatoes and mozzarella are sliced, layered on a plate, and then drizzled with flavorful olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.

Oven-roasted vegetables are full of flavor! The vegetables are roasted until golden brown and lightly crispy on the outside while maintaining a tender, flavorful inside.

The vegetables’ natural sweetness intensifies when roasted in the oven, creating a delicious balance of sweet and savory. Adding herbs and spices can add an extra flavor that enhances the already delicious roasted vegetables even more!
