Crockpot Alice Springs Chicken

Author: Carlee
Servings: 4 Servings
Make this tasty copycat version of Outback Steakhouse's Alice Springs chicken at home. The chicken slow cooks in a creamy honey mustard until it is tender and delicious. The mushrooms, bacon, and melted cheese make it irresistible. You are going to love this easy crockpot dinner.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 5 hours
Total: 5 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 8 slices cooked crumbled bacon divided
  • ¼ heavy cream
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese shredded

Instructions 

  • Season your 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts with the ½ teaspoon garlic salt, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Melt the 1 tablespoon butter over medium high heat in a large skillet.
  • Quickly sear the chicken on each side. You just want to give it some color, not cook the chicken through.
  • Add the chicken to the crockpot.
  • Whisk together the ¼ cup Dijon mustard and ¼ cup honey and pour over the chicken.
  • Top with the 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and half of the 8 slices cooked crumbled bacon.
  • Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender.
  • Whisk the ¼ heavy cream into the slow cooker sauce.
  • Top the chicken with the 1 cup colby jack cheese and remaining bacon.
  • Cover and cook for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles to help soak up the extra sauce.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze them for up to 3 months. 
For BBQ Alice Springs chicken, replace half of the honey and mustard with BBQ sauce. It adds a nice smokey flavor to the mix.
If you want, you can add onions along with the chicken and mushrooms. They will add another layer of flavor and texture.
