Experience the iconic flavors of Outback Steakhouse with our homemade rendition of Alice Springs Chicken. This recipe proves that culinary greatness doesn’t always require a long list of ingredients. With just a few simple components—boneless chicken breast, gooey cheese, and savory bacon—you can recreate this beloved dish in the comfort of your own kitchen, saving yourself a trip to a fancy restaurant. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Carefully slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper to your liking, then place them in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, partially cook the bacon until the fat renders but it remains flexible and not yet crispy.
- Once the chicken has cooked for 25 minutes, remove it from the oven. Cut each slice of bacon in half and lay the strips on top of each chicken piece.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove the chicken again and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of each piece.
- Place the chicken back in the oven for another 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
- Finally, garnish the chicken with chopped green onions before serving.
