Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves approx. 700 grams or 1.5 pounds total
- 6 strips of bacon
- 1/2 tablespoon of chicken spice blend
- 1/2 tablespoon of ground onion
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 225 grams 8 ounces of Colby/Jack cheese, shredded
- 225 grams 8 ounces of fresh button mushrooms, sliced
- The honey mustard mixture:
- 60 ml 1/4 cup of honey
- 80 ml 1/3 cup of grainy yellow mustard
- 60 ml 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 15 ml 1 tablespoon of corn syrup
- 2.5 ml 1/2 teaspoon of dried onion flakes
Instructions
- Kick things off by warming your oven to get it ready for the main event.
- In a skillet, let the bacon sizzle away until it's crisped to perfection, then lay it on paper towels to bid farewell to excess grease.
- Take the chicken breasts and let them swim in a mix of spices like paprika and onion powder, ensuring they're thoroughly coated. Give them some alone time to marinate, ideally between 45 minutes to an hour.
- Creating the signature sauce:
- With your pan over a gentle flame, blend together the sweet honey and robust mustard, tossing in the mayonnaise and onion flakes for a creamy twist.
- Drizzle in the corn syrup gradually, adjusting to your taste preference to strike a balance with the mustard's zestiness.
- Allow the mixture to just bubble before setting it aside to mingle flavors.
- Now that the chicken has soaked up the spices, add it to the pan with the remaining bacon grease. Let each side get a lovely golden tan, which should take a few minutes.
- Transition the bronzed chicken into an aluminum foil tray, ready for dressing up.
- Lavish each piece with the homemade honey-mustard sauce, then adorn with mushroom slices and the crispy bacon you set aside earlier.
- Smother generously with cheese, making sure it's covered to the edges.
- Let it bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until the cheese is bubbly and inviting.
- Serve this comforting delight with a side of your favorite veggie slaw and a refreshing drink to complement the rich flavors.
- There you have it, a heartwarming dish that's as satisfying to prepare as it is to devour! Enjoy your homemade Alice Springs Chicken, a little taste of the Outback wherever you are.
