Alice Springs Chicken
When I'm looking for a recipe "to impress" my guests, this is my "go-to". If you want to tell your guests that you spent all day in the kitchen preparing this gourmet meal, they're apt to believe you.
Of course if you spend all afternoon with them drinking beer, you're not going to be able to sell that. Make sure they're not invited until just before dinner is served.
Or maybe confessing how little work is involved, will impress them even more. How could you possibly prepare such a succulent meal in such a short time unless you were a master chef?
Served with a side order of Scalloped Potatoes and corn niblets this meal is fit for both King AND Queen.
Prep Time: 10 min.
Wait Time: 30 min. (overlaps more prep time.)

¼ cup mustard
⅓ cup honey
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
2 tsp onion flakes

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning Salt
6 bacon slices
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced

Do This for Honey Mustard:
In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise and dried onion flakes.
Do This for the Chicken:
Use a meat tenderizer to pound the chicken breasts to ½ “ thickness.
Sprinkle and rub the chicken breasts with seasoning salt.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is in the refrigerator, fry bacon until crisp.
Remove bacon and set aside but do not drain the frying pan.
Crumble bacon when cooled.
In a separate frying pan, saute mushrooms in butter.
Saute chicken in the frying pan with the bacon grease about 2 minutes per side, or until browned.
Place chicken in a 9″ × 13″ casserole dish or pan.
Spread liberal amounts of the Honey Mustard over each piece of chicken, then layer with mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake in oven at 350° for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken is done.
Serve with the leftover Honey Mustard Sauce.
