Top Secret Recipe: Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken




Top Secret Recipe: Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken

Alice Springs chicken is one of the most delicious items on the Outback menu. It is a rich chicken breast layered with cheese, bacon and mushrooms – and the sauce is a sweet and sour sauce that is absolutely to die for. Here’s a recipe that will allow you to make your very own Alice Springs Chicken at home.

You’ll Need:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey
6 strips of bacon
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Small bit of olive oil

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Get the grill very hot before cooking the chicken, so that the sides sear a bit and caramelize. Cook the chicken for about 20 minutes or 10 minutes on each side. Ensure that it’s cooked all the way through. While the chicken is cooking, sauté the mushrooms in a bit of olive oil and fry the bacon slices until they’re just on the edge of crispy.

When the chicken is finished, place the mushrooms on top followed by the bacon and then sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top. Place the chicken in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.

Make the sauce by mixing the Dijon mustard with the honey. This is a delicious recipe that will impress friends and family! This is also a great recipe to make a day before any party. Simply prepare the chicken the day before and layer with the mushrooms and bacon. Leave the cheese off and then the day of, sprinkle it on top and pop the chicken in the oven for about 30 minutes or until it’s thoroughly reheated and the cheese is melted. The sauce can be made before as well, and stored in the fridge.

Top Secret Recipe: Stuffed New Potatoes

These delicious appetizers are served at many restaurants and individuals devour them! They are rich and tasty, and perfect for serving at any party or regular dinner. Below, you’ll find a top secret recipe that rivals any restaurant version and will go over extremely well with your family or with guests at your next get together.

You’ll need:

12 new potatoes, cleaned and rinsed
2 large eggs
2 tbsp mayonnaise
Small pinch chopped garlic
1 Teaspoon Parsley
2 Tablespoons finely chopped onions
1 Ounce caviar

First, place the eggs in a small pan, cover with water and boil for about ten to fifteen minutes. While the eggs are boiling, place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Season the water with salt and pepper and boil for about eight to ten minutes or until you can put a fork through the potatoes.

When the eggs and potatoes are done, dunk them in cold water to shock and cool them quickly. Once they’re cooled, take them out of the water. Peel the eggs and then use a small knife to cut a small hole in the tops of the potatoes. Scoop out the inside of the potatoes and reserve, ensuring that there is enough potato left to hold the stuffing. Grate the eggs using a cheese grater, and mix the eggs with the potatoes. Add the mayo, onions, garlic and parsley.

Season with salt and pepper and then stuff the new potatoes with the mixture. This is all you have to do! If you want to try a variation, sprinkle cheddar cheese on the tops of the potato and pop them in the oven for about five to ten minutes.
