🍴 Tips for Success

• Juicy chicken: Brining the chicken in a simple saltwater solution for 15–30 minutes before cooking can make it extra moist.
• Cheese mix: Using both Monterey Jack and cheddar gives the dish the signature creamy and sharp flavor.
• Make it lighter: Swap heavy cream for half-and-half for a slightly lower-calorie sauce without losing richness.

Recreating Outback Steakhouse’s Alice Springs Chicken at home is easier than it looks, and the result is a restaurant-style meal you can enjoy any night of the week. Juicy chicken, melty cheese, crispy bacon, and a rich mushroom sauce make this dish a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
