ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN (OUTBACK COPYCAT)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F and spray a 9x13 or large baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.

Step 3

In a large pan saute the mushrooms in a tablespoon of butter until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining butter to the pan to melt. Brown the marinated chicken breasts in the butter, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side to sear the chicken.

Step 5

Add the seared chicken to the bottom of your baking dish. Spread a spoonful of the sauce over each chicken breast (reserve any remaining sauce for serving), followed by a layer of cooked mushrooms, chopped bacon, and a layer of shredded cheese. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Step 6

Garnish the chicken with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with the reserved sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
