Incidentally, do you know how difficult it is to post anything with 20 lbs of solid cat wallowing all over you? Actually...some of you probably do...
Moving on...
Look at this fine slop of mess we have right here!
Okay, so we took a welcomed break from our current Hamburger Helper/Sloppy Joe/Rice and Beans diet to splurge a little on one our favorite meals.
Behold...Alice Springs Chicken...copy cat version!
This is in no way healthy, or low in calories, or in any way good for you, but ehrmagerd, it is sooo good!
It's a homemade version of the excellent Outback dish, and bonus, it will allow you to order a steak or the prime rib at Outback without wasting your money on a chicken dish...at a steakhouse. That is ridiculous in itself.
So, there are many versions of this recipe online, and I have combined a few to make my favorite...well, that's a lie. It's not really my favorite, because my favorite entails homemade honey mustard dressing, but this one is quick and easy, and thus, it has become my new favorite, especially during the week, when I am exhausted and time is of the essence.
Okay, that's also a lie, because you do kinda have to start this recipe the night before, but not too much prep, I promise.
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 c. Worcestershire sauce
8 oz button mushrooms (or any mushrooms, really), sliced
8 slices of bacon
1 bottle honey-mustard dressing (I used Ken's, 16 oz)
8 oz Monterrey jack cheese
non-stick cooking spray
1 T. butter
The night before, place chicken breasts in a plastic Ziploc bag and pound the hell out of them until they're about 1" thick. Pour in Worcestershire sauce, and let the chicken marinate overnight.
The next day:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Get a 9x11 baking dish (glass or metal, whatever). Spray that bad boy down with the cooking spray. Set aside.
In a non-stick pan, melt butter and saute mushrooms until nice and soft, about 5 min. Set aside.
In same pan, fry 8 slices of bacon until crisp, set aside. When it's cooled down, crumble up into bacon-bit sized pieces. Let it remain...aside.
Next, pour off excess marinade from chicken and brown in same skillet where you just fried the bacon (told ya it wasn't healthy), 3-4 min each side.
Place chicken breasts in baking dish.
Pour honey mustard dressing over each breast. Next, add sauteed mushrooms. Next, add bacon. Next, cover with cheese.
Cover with tin-foil and bake about 25 min.
Ta-day! Deliciousness! Enjoy; we certainly did.
My Mood Ring(tone) of the Day:
God, how I love Angel...I mean Booth...I mean, David Boreanaz...well, not so much the last one.
Incidentally, this is "our" song; I'm talking about me and the Rottenator...although, he's probably not as sentimental about it as I am. I've been a bit irritated with him lately; I'd like to say it was because he was being an asshole, but it's more likely that I've just been in a bitchy mood.

I am a vegan (Jesus, I almost typed "virgin" for some reason!!) but I have two cats and a spouse who would love the chicken, which in this house we call "buk."
