This delightful dish is served at Outback Steakhouse as Alice Springs Chicken. It is a grilled chicken breast, marinated in honey mustard, grilled and topped with bacon, mushrooms, and cheese. I have only had it once but never forgot it. While thinking about what I could do with a couple of chicken breasts, I remembered this dish. I searched the internet and ran across this knockoff recipe for Alice Springs Chicken. I made a couple of changes in the recipe and it was delicious. Michael declared it "flavorful." I served it with homemade French fries and the reserved honey mustard for dipping.
