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.
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.
