Common Questions About Alice Springs Chicken

Can I Use Turkey Bacon in Alice Springs Chicken?

Yes, you can definitely use turkey bacon as a healthier option in this recipe. Turkey bacon adds a similar crispy texture and is a great way to lighten up this Outback Steakhouse’s Alice Springs Chicken copycat recipe.

Can I Make Alice Springs Chicken in an Air Fryer?

Yes, indeed! You can use an air fryer to cook the chicken tenders or boneless skinless chicken breasts for this dish.

Just ensure they reach the right internal temperature, then transfer them to a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish to add the other ingredients and finish off in a preheated oven for that cheesy baked chicken perfection!

I don’t recommend adding sauce to the chicken while it is in the air fryer as you don’t want it to drip down below the basket. This could cause smoking in your machine.

Can I Use Different Types of Cheese in Alice Springs Chicken?

Certainly! While my recipe calls for Colby Jack cheese, feel free to use your favorite ingredients like cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. Each type of cheese adds a unique flavor and can make this Outback Steakhouse copycat recipe your own special dish.

Storage

I think all delicious chicken recipes make great leftovers. This one stores well and is great for lunching or munching later on!

Refrigerator

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

Freezer

I wouldn’t recommend freezing as it may affect the texture and taste.
