- Pour half the honey mustard sauce over the chicken.
- Place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for at least two hours or overnight.
Prep the remaining ingredients.
- In a skillet over medium heat cook the bacon until it is as crispy as you like it. I tend to let it get a little bit crispier for this dish since it is covered with sauce and cheese.4-6 Slices Gluten-free Bacon
- Remove the bacon from the pan and remove all but 1-2 tbs of bacon fat.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan and let them sautee until they are nice and golden, and then remove them from the pan and set them aside with the bacon.2 Cup Mushrooms
- Add the avocado oil to the pan, and then place the marinated chicken in the skillet. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and sear it on both sides until the chicken is not quite all the way cooked.2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil, 1 Teaspoon Salt, ½ Teaspoon Pepper

- Place a lid over the skillet and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the chicken is reading 165 degrees.

Notes
Tips and tricks for the best Alice Springs Chicken copycat recipe
- Marinate the chicken - I like to let the chicken sit for at least two hours, but you can do it overnight. Don't have time to marinate for long? Reduce the sauce in a pan while the chicken cooks and pour it over the chicken so you get the extra flavors of the Honey Mustard Sauce.
- Use thin chicken breasts - I find using thinner breasts works better for this dish. If you have thicker breasts on hand, cut them in half, making them as even as you can. This will ensure they cook at the same time, and the chicken stays juicy.
- Save some of the honey mustard sauce. - I love having a little bowl of extra honey mustard sauce to dip the chicken into.
