This is my take on the famous Alice Springs Chicken from Outback Steakhouse — and honestly, it might be even better made at home. Juicy chicken breasts are seared until golden, spread with creamy honey mustard, then piled with mushrooms, crispy bacon, and a generous layer of melted cheddar.
It’s pure comfort food: smoky, cheesy, a little sweet from the honey mustard, and completely satisfying. Best of all, it comes together with simple ingredients you probably already have. This is the dinner my family asks for when they want a restaurant-style treat on a regular weeknight.

Ingredients
Directions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving a little of the drippings in the pan.
Sear the chicken in the same skillet over medium-high heat for about 4–5 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.
Spread the honey mustard over each chicken breast, then top with the mushrooms and bacon.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously over the top. Transfer the skillet to a 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the chicken is cooked through (165°F).
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Conclusion
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through so the cheese melts nicely again.
