Okay here I am! I tend to be hard on most recipes....I rarely rate them 5 stars, so if I don't post a whole lot, then that is why. Now for this yummy recipe. If you have ever had the Alice Springs Chicken at Outback Steakhouse, you will find that this tastes JUST like it! I got this recipe from a recipe blog so I did not make it up myself.
ALICE SPRINGS CHICKEN
Honey Mustard Marinade:
1 c. Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1 c. honey
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. lemon juice
Chicken:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 c. sliced mushrooms (10−12 mushrooms)
2 Tbsp. butter
salt and pepper
paprika
8 slices bacon, cooked
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
Use an electric mixer to combine the mustard, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whip the mixture for about 30 seconds. Pour about half of the marinade over the chicken breasts and marinate them, covered, in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
Chill the remaining marinade until later. After the chicken has marinated, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and heat an ovenproof frying pan large enough to hold all four breasts and 1 Tbsp. oil over medium heat. (If you don't have an ovenproof frying pan, transfer the chicken to a baking dish).
Sear the chicken in the pan for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove pan from heat but keep chicken in the pan. As the chicken is cooking, in a small frying pan saute the mushrooms in the butter. Brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved honey mustard marinade (not the portion that the chicken soaked in) being sure to save a little extra that you can serve on the side later with the dish.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper and paprika. Stack two pieces of cooked bacon, crosswise on each chicken breast. Spoon the sauteed mushrooms onto the bacon, being sure to coat each breast evenly. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese evenly onto each breast followed by 1/4 cup of Cheddar.
Bake the pan of prepared chicken breasts for 7-10 minutes or until cheese is thoroughly melted and starting to bubble. Sprinkle each breast with 1/2 teaspoon parsley before serving. Put extra honey mustard marinade into a small bowl to serve on the side.

I love this! I can't wait to try the recipe!
this looks good - I haven't read the recipe through - How time consuming is the process?
I didn't think it was too terrible. I guess cooking the bacon was the worst part. But I took out a couple of steps that I didn't think needed to be in there (like using a seperate pan for sauteing the mushrooms...and I cooked the chicken all the way through on the stove so it didn't have to cook too long in the oven) But, to me it was worth it.
I will be making this next week! Thanks
Whenever I go to Outback, that is what I order......Thanks, I love it! They also have an Alice Spring Chicken Appetizer that is just in tortillas, very good too!
