Outback Steakhouse’s Alice Springs Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 cup honey mustard dressing
1 cup sliced mushrooms, sautéed
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese

Directions:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Layer Toppings: Spread honey mustard dressing over each chicken breast. Top with sautéed mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and chicken is cooked through.
Serve: Serve hot, ideally with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
