- Easy. Made in one pan with chicken breasts, mushrooms, bacon, cheese, and pantry staples, you can have this chicken on the table in just 35 minutes!

How To Make Alice Springs Chicken Step by Step
Prepare the Sauce and Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk ⅔ cup of mayonnaise, ¼ cup of honey, ¼ cup of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice together. Set aside. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cook the Mushrooms: In a large oven-proof skillet set over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside, then return the skillet to the heat.
Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil until it’s shimmering. Add the chicken breasts in a single layer and brown on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Top the Chicken: Drizzle half of the honey mustard sauce over the chicken. Scatter the mushrooms evenly over the chicken, then top it with 4 slices of chopped cooked bacon and ½ cup each of the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
Bake the Chicken: Bake for 12 minutes. Sprinkle on the remaining ½ cup of each cheese and continue baking for an additional 4-8 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve with reserved sauce on the side for dipping.

This looks delicious and I’d love to try it – one question…you say “To avoid cross-contamination, keep the reserved sauce separate from the sauce used to marinate the chicken.” but I don’t see anywhere in the recipe that you marinate the raw chicken in the sauce. Is this just a mistake or are there steps missing from the recipe? Thanks!
