Step 7: Bake to Perfection
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- The cheese should be melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
If you want extra browning, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end — just watch carefully.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Drizzle with the reserved honey mustard sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Alice Springs Chicken pairs beautifully with:

Tips for the Best Results
- Don’t skip marinating — it makes a big difference in flavor.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting.
- Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy.
- Pound chicken evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
