Keto Alice Springs Chicken – A Taste from Down Under

Keto Alice Springs Chicken – A Taste from Down Under

This weeks recipe is an easy one… It is Alice springs chicken, an Outback Steakhouse copycat recipe made keto. Delicious chicken breast and a honey mustard sauce, then topped with mushrooms bacon and lots of cheese. So delicious.

Even though Outback Steakhouse, as you can guess by its name, is famous for their steaks.  It’s always nice to have chicken on the menu, right? According to my research people are OBSESSED with their chicken.

So what is Alice Springs chicken?

It is a chicken dish made with delicious chicken breast and a honey mustard sauce and then you sauté it until tender… Finally, they smother the chicken in buttery mushrooms, crispy bacon, and lots of melted cheese… You can even serve extra honey mustard sauce on the side for dipping.

This chicken recipe is named after Alice springs in Australia, a large town in the northern territory you can read all about it on Wikipedia if you want to know more.

Outback steakhouse is an Australian themed American casual dining restaurant chain that started in Tampa Florida… And while our truly Australian friends might not consider their food as “authentic”… The country of Australia does have Outback restaurants, so they must not be too offended. LOL.

We hope you give this easy dining dish with a twist a try on your weekly chicken rotation.

A few thoughts on this recipe:

• The original recipe uses chicken breasts, you could substitute chicken thighs if you wish, but the idea is to have them pounded down quite thinly, and that is much easier with a chicken breast. You will still get plenty of fat in with the bacon and the toppings.
• Definitely consider reserving some of the delicious honey mustard sauce for dipping on the side.
• As with all casserole style dishes this is even better made ahead and heated up the next day.

FOLLOW-UP TASTE TEST by C.J.

As I mentioned in my taste test, I had never noticed or heard of Alice Springs Chicken on the Outback Steakhouse menu.  But I’m one of those weird people who when I visit a steak house, I actually order steak–just saying.   This was surprising good, and it was better the next day.  The Pyure Harmless Hunny product was interesting and before we made this video, I don’t think we knew it existed, give it a try if interested.  All any all this was a really delicious dish, and it was better the next day.  We hope you enjoy it.  Post your versions, on Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest.
