What is Alice Springs Chicken?
It’s a copycat recipe inspired by Outback Steakhouse, and it’s beyond delicious. But I’ve streamlined it for the low carb lifestyle!
Although Outback Steakhouse has a variety of dishes, the Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken is one of their most popular menu items, and it’s understandable why!
Alice Springs Chicken combines sweet and savory flavors and melty cheese and a variety of textures to create a delicious and visually appealing dish that is perfect for upgrading any weeknight meal. The tender chicken topped with honey mustard sauce, mushrooms, crispy bacon, and melted cheese is irresistible!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- Versatile: Works equally well for a quick family dinner or special occasion meal
- Restaurant Quality at Home: Enjoy the exact flavors of Outback’s famous dish without leaving your kitchen
- Perfect Flavor Balance: The combination of sweet, savory, and tangy elements creates a perfectly balanced bite
- Impressive Presentation: Layers of colorful ingredients make this dish as beautiful as it is delicious
- Family Favorite: Even picky eaters love this combination of familiar flavors
How to Store & Reheat Your Leftovers:
- Reheating Method: Reheat in 350°F oven for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Microwave reheating is acceptable, but the oven method preserves texture better.
- Refrigerator Storage: Store completely cooled leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months for the best quality and texture.
Expert Tips for Perfect Alice Springs Chicken:
-
- Cook bacon until extra crispy: It will maintain better texture under the melted cheese
- Use freshly grated cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent proper melting. Put your kids to work grating. It’s an important life skill. LOL!
