Serving Up {Chicken}: Outback's Alice Springs Chicken

I will admit that I have never ordered Alice Springs Chicken at the Outback Steakhouse - it is a steakhouse after all.  So with the caveat that I have no idea how close this recipe is to the restaurants version, I will nonetheless declare this recipe to be some delicious chicken.  Hello!  Bacon, mushrooms, cheese, honey dijon sauce - I almost forgot that it was a chicken dish under all that luscious yumminess!  Prepare to lick your plate on this one :)

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Bacon, cooked to crispy
Monterey jack cheese, shredded
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Fresh mushrooms, sliced
Butter
Salt, pepper, dash of paprika

Honey Mustard Marinade:
½ C. Dijon mustard
½ C. honey
1 ½ tsp. vegetable oil
½ tsp. lemon juice

Combine the ingredients for the Honey Mustard Marinade.  Reserve a small amount of marinade and marinate the chicken in the remaining marinade for a few hours or overnight, if desired. Grill or broil chicken. Brush with the reserved marinade (not the marinade that had raw chicken in it). Season with salt and pepper and a dash of paprika.
Meanwhile sauté the mushrooms in butter until tender.
Cook bacon.
To prepare chicken, place cooked chicken breasts in a baking dish.  Stack two pieces of cooked bacon on each chicken breast. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms on top of the bacon. Place a generous amount of both kinds of cheeses on top. Bake in the oven to melt cheese.
Serve with honey mustard sauce on the side.

Honey Mustard Sauce:
½ C. honey
2 C. mayonnaise
1/3 C. Dijon mustard
Mix ingredients together in a small saucepan and heat (on low) until warm.
Serve over the cooked chicken.
