What is Alice Springs Chicken?

Alice Springs Chicken is one of the most popular menu items at the Outback Steakhouse Restaurant. The dish is named for the town Alice Springs in Northern Australia. And while people normally go to Outback for the steaks, this hearty, rich chicken gives any steak from the restaurant a run for its money!

How to Make Alice Springs Chicken

Try it Grilled

Another great way I love to enjoy this recipe is by grilling the chicken instead of pan-frying it. It’s a great way to turn it into a summer-y recipe and it gives the chicken such great flavor. I like to bring the chicken to room temperature before grilling, then I grill over medium-high heat for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, only turning once. Of course, I still top it all off with the mushrooms, bacon, and cheese and bake it as directed in the recipe.

Tips and Suggestions

Flatten the chicken: The trick to even cooking is even thickness. If your chicken is really thick, use a meat mallet to pound out the chicken so it’s nice and even. I like to do this by placing the chicken in a Ziplock bag and pounding the outside of the bag until the chicken has even thickness. Use cast iron: I don’t know what it is about cast iron pans, but they just make everything taste better. Especially chicken! They are oven safe so they transition easily from the stove top to the oven without any issues. READ NEXT: How to Make Cast Iron Filet Mignon
