Outback Steakhouse's Alice Springs Chicken

We've had this before a few times and it is AMAZING, so I don't know we haven't eaten it more, but we just made it again the other night, and it was even better than I remember. This is Todd Wilbur's version of the recipe, and it is not to shabby!

Title: Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken
Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

***HONEY MUSTARD MARINADE***
1/2 c grey poupon dijon mustard
1/2 c honey
1 1/2 ts vegetable oil
1/2 ts lemon juice
***THE REST***
4 chicken breast halves-without skin; boneless
1 tb vegetable oil
2 c mushrooms; sliced
2 tb butter
salt and pepper; to taste
paprika; to taste
8 slices bacon; cooked
1 c monterey jack cheese; shredded
1 c cheddar cheese; shredded
2 ts parsley; finely chopped

Instructions

Use an electric mixer to combine the Dijon mustard, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whip the mixture for about 30 seconds. Pour about two-thirds 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 F and heat up an oven proof frying pan large enough to hold all four breasts and 1
tablespoon of oil over medium heat. (If you don't have an oven proof skillet, transfer
the chicken to a baking dish for baking). Sear the chicken in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat, but keep the chicken in the pan.

As the chicken is cooking, in a small frying pan saute the sliced 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 a dash of 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.
Spread 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese onto each breast followed by 1/4 cup of cheddar.

Bake the pan of prepared chicken breasts for 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and starting to bubble. Sprinkle each chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon parsley before serving. Put extra honey mustard marinade into a small bowl to serve on the side.

Well I love pretty much anything outback, but can't say I've ever had this. I just can't ever turn down their steak! But I will definitely try it out at home. Is that guy the one who does the "top secret" recipe books?

yeah, he does the top secret recipe books. I got one for christmas a couple of years ago from kim and emily. I think the recipes we use most from it are this chicken recipe and the Denny's french toast recipe. Yum! now i want french toast...

Also, I've never eaten this chicken at outback either because, like you, when i go to outback, I want a steak. but I am curious to see how similar the "real" recipe and the copy recipe are.

Pasta Carbonara

By
"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say.  You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store.  While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something  with that tortellini!  I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will  appear to not be cooked.  We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe.  The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still.  I promise it is delicious.  But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance.  Now you ma...

Spinach Waffles

By
Spinach in waffles?  Gross, right? Only for people trying to lose weight, right?  WRONG.  Right? Okay, I see how thoroughly confused you are now.  And I know what you're thinking: "wait, she can see me?? Creep!"  Oh, you weren't thinking that? Weird, you should be--that IS creepy.  But I digress...we were speaking of spinach in a standard, non-spinachy food.  The thing is, it's SOOOO good you guys!  I even made regular waffles side by side to compare, and my kids (my KIDS!) said the spinach ones were better (cue jaw drop, gasp, and fake fainting spell).  Full disclosure, one (out of 6) of the kids said they were gross, but she refused to actually taste any, so we just won't pay any attention to her.  She's kind of in the middle anyway, so she's used to it.... (cue awkward, judging silence from the reader).  Even if you're kids refuse to taste them, though, you have to be a grown-up and at least try them.  Try them, you will se...
