Description
Experience the comfort of grilled chicken topped with sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, all bathed in a tangy honey mustard sauce. A homemade triumph inspired by the flavours of Outback Steakhouse!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 250 grams white button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups Colby cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp parsley, for garnish
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a covered container and refrigerate until serving time.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large Ziplock bag. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.
- In a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter until foaming. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release most of their liquid and start to turn brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.
- Heat olive oil in the same skillet. Add the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer and cook without moving them until a golden-brown crust forms, about 5 minutes. Flip each chicken breast and continue cooking until the second side is browned, about 5 minutes longer.
- Divide sautéed mushrooms evenly over the chicken breasts. Top with chopped bacon and shredded Colby cheese.
- Cover the skillet and transfer it to a 200C preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked
- Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Serve






This looks absolutely heavenly with that thick layer of cheese atop!
I’ve never been to an Outback Steakhouse but I’m forever intrigued by the mystique! Those who go, love it. With a recipe like this, I can see why! I happen to have some plant-based steaks in the freezer, so I might need to splurge and see if I can veganize this. It sounds like a really fun (and not difficult) project.
I think this would be an easy one to veganize, cant wait to see your rendition of this
It looks very rich and delicious!
I’ve never had Alice Spring Chicken but from the looks of the photo it must be yummy. In fact, just marinating and sautéing the chicken sounds good.
