Ingredients Needed:

• 1/2 cup prepared mustard
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

How To Make Alice Springs Chicken?

1. Make the honey mustard sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, corn syrup, and mayonnaise until smooth. Set aside.
2. Season the chicken: Rub chicken breasts with seasoned salt and let them sit for 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
3. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the pan.
4. Add toppings: Spread a layer of honey mustard sauce over each chicken breast. Top with mushrooms, 3 bacon pieces, and a generous amount of shredded cheese.
5. Melt the cheese: Microwave or bake in a 350°F oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with extra honey mustard sauce on the side.

Recipe Tips:

• Pound the chicken for even cooking: If your chicken breasts are thick, pound them lightly to make them an even thickness. This helps them cook evenly and prevents dry spots.
• Don’t skip the honey mustard sauce: This sauce adds the signature flavor to Alice Springs Chicken. Make sure to coat the chicken well for the best taste.
• Cook the bacon until crispy: Soft bacon will make the dish greasy. Cook the bacon until it’s fully crispy so it adds a nice crunch to the chicken.
• Melt the cheese properly: Baking the chicken for a few minutes in the oven melts the cheese evenly and gives a better texture than using the microwave.
• Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking, let the chicken sit for 5 minutes before adding the toppings. This helps keep the meat juicy and flavorful.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the Alice Springs Chicken cool completely before storing. Keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Wrap the cooled chicken in plastic wrap and put it in a freezer-safe container. It stays good in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Place the chicken inside and heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the chicken is hot.
