This is just an overview of ingredients. Skip to the recipe for quantities.
Ingredient notes
- seasoning salt: can use your own mix of salt, pepper, ground paprika and onion/garlic powder
- mushrooms: I used brown button, but white work as well
- honey mustard: make your own by combining 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 2 tablespoons honey
How to make Copycat Alice Springs Chicken
Recipe tips
- loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil if the cheese starts getting too brown
- use evenly sized chicken breasts for best results; can also pound chicken breast or slice them in half to make them all an even thickness
- don’t forget to season the chicken before adding it to the baking dish, it can turn out quite bland otherwise
Serving suggestions
You’ll end up with quite a bit of delicious cooking juices in the baking dish, which are perfect to serve over rice.
The chicken is obviously also great with fries or crinkle cut fries. But regular roast potatoes are a favorite of ours, too!
If you’re looking for a vegetable side, sautéed green beans or roasted asparagus go great with the chicken.

my husband hates mustard, I’m wondering if there’s an alternative that would still work well with this?
Jenni, the honey mustard is a pretty big part of the recipe, so I’m not sure what would work well here. I guess you could try mayonnaise and a teaspoon of vinegar, or maybe even a creamy horseradish sauce. These are just educated guesses though and I haven’t tried either myself, but do let me know what you think if you end up trying anything!
