Alice Springs Chicken

I completely stole this off someones recipe blog and I have no idea how it taste but it sure does sound yummy and doesn't look too complicated to follow. I'm going to try it as soon as I get all the ingredients together. If someone else tries it before me, let me know how it turned out.

Alice Springs Chicken (from Outback Steakhouse) :

4 Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
Honey Mustard (recipe below)
6 pieces bacon, fried and sliced in half
1/2 tsp McCormick Season All (I use more than this)
1 C. Sliced Mushrooms, if from can or jar make sure they are drained
3 C. Shredded Colby / Monterey Jack Cheese
Parsley for Garnish (yeah, right)

Prep:Rub raw chicken breast with Season All and set aside to marinate for about 1 hour. While the chicken is marinating, fry bacon until crisp and drain. Shred cheese and set aside.
**This is as long as I have ever let the chicken marinate. I have never had the patience to wait the whole hour.
Saute chicken on medium heat in pan with just enough oil to prevent sticking. Cook on both sides until a slight golden color and cooked in the middle but not dry. Remove from pan and place in baking dish or on cookie sheet.Spread chicken breast with honey mustard, cover with a layer of mushrooms, three slices of bacon and then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake in oven heated to 350. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with extra honey mustard, if desired.

Honey Mustard:
1/2 C. Prepared Salad Mustard
1/4 C. Honey
1/4 C. Light Corn Syrup
1/4 C. Mayonnaise

Blend all together until completely smooth and free from lumps. The corn syrup may be adjusted depending on how sharp the mustard is to your taste.
**I ususally half this recipe and have plenty of honey mustard to coat my chicken.

Olive Garden's Alfredo Sauce

Knock off of the original that is pretty close. I've served it at a play group a few years back and it was a total hit. (warning high in fat)





Ingredients:

2 cups heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup butter
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

optional:

Snipped Fresh Chives

Add all ingredients, except chives, in a medium sauce pan, let simmer for 12 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached. Add snipped fresh chives if you like

Serve over your choice of pasta noodles or if you want, you can just have it as a dipping sauce for your bread sticks! Add grilled chicken breast cut in strips for even more deliciousness.
