This is a spin on Outback’s Alice Springs Chicken.  I worked at Outback bartending for many, many years and still crave some of their recipes.  You really cannot go wrong with smothered cheese and bacon on chicken, fries or really ANYTHING!!

• Chicken:
• 6 Chicken breasts
• Favorite chicken seasoning or salt and pepper

• Honey Mustard Sauce:
• 1/2 cup dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup raw honey (I prefer hot honey)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

• Toppings:
• 8 slices of crispy bacon
• 1 1/2 cups of sliced white mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 3 1/2 cups colby jack cheese, shredded 
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 package of caulilini, steamed

Instructions:
In a small bowl combine dijon mustard, raw hot honey, mayonnaise and lemon juice, set aside.

Hammer chicken into even, identical breasts and season generously with salt and pepper or favorite chicken rub.  

Preheat Grill to 450F. 

Melt two tablespoons of butter and sauté mushrooms on medium high heat until tender and golden.  About 10-15 minutes. 
Prepare bacon, cook until crispy. Stove top or in the oven at 400 for 20-30 minutes.  

Grill chicken breasts on an oiled grate for five minutes per side until chicken reaches 145F. Then place in cast iron skillet.  Spoon some of the mushrooms on top of each piece of chicken. Break a piece of cooked bacon in half and arrange the bacon over the chicken. Divide the shredded pepper jack cheese and the cheddar cheese evenly and sprinkle over each piece of chicken. Put back over grill and close grill.  Allow cheese to melt and chicken to reach 160F.  Allow to rest and chicken should get to desired temperature of 165F.
I also topped it with steamed caulilini.  What is Caulilini?  Caulilini is actually 100-percent cauliflower. While sometimes called baby cauliflower, it is not actually a baby version of the cauliflower, it is a cauliflower variety that’s popular in Asia but, until now, hadn’t been grown in the U.S.  Caulilini’s stalks are more tender and, as a whole, tastes sweeter than your typical cauliflower. 
Enjoy!
