I make this without the corn syrup. I don’t sub anything for it (there’s already some honey in the recipe) and I would say that it doesn’t make any difference. I also only make about half the sauce because I don’t serve any additional with it at the end… it already seems saucy enough to me. One thing that may make a difference is that I don’t sauté (brown) the chicken at the beginning. I cut my chicken breasts really thin and then pound them thinner. Then I spread the sauce, add some bacon, mushrooms, and cheese and just put it in the oven. It ends up more moist this way (because the chicken absorbs the sauce since it hasn’t been “sealed” by the browning) so you can avoid extra sauce (and extra work!)

I made this tonight and it was FANTASTIC! My kids usually don’t eat chicken but all 3 of them liked it and so did my husband and I. The only thing I did different was the sauce. I just mixed some mustard and honey together omitting the mayo and corn syrup. Still super tasty. This is going to be a keeper for sure. LOVE your blog!

We do the same thing. Alice Springs Chicken is what we call ours. I think that is the name that Outback gave it!! We have no originality! Except I have the hubby grill the chicken so it makes life a little easier for me in preparation. You should try it some time. I do the rest virtually the same way. One of our favorites. I do buy the Newman’s Honey Mustard dressing on occasion again just to simplify things for myself!

I made this recipe as is a few months ago and everyone loved it. In the time since, we’ve kicked the corn syrup… tonight I made it sans corn syrup – simply half yellow mustard, half raw honey – and it was fantastic. Thanks for ALL your great recipes… I use your easy yogurt recipe weekly!

That’s it! We’re going grocery shopping sometime this week and I’m going to Aldi! And we’ll be making Aussie chicken, too.

i have a family of 7 and family and friend in and out all the time!! but what i noticed on ur recipe and not of other frugal recipe is there are not complete meals. My husband is Hispanic and does not and will not go for a sandwich or just a taco as a meal. I know people might think he is heavier then he is but he is very thin.I would love to know recipes that are frugal and a total meal that help my family

I’ve passed this recipe on to two of my girlfriends and their families are raving about it too! I cheat and use REAL bacon bits because I don’t use enough bacon to make purchasing it worthwhile. It’s a great cheat!!

oh that’s funny! LOL im an ‘Aussie’ mum and can assure you that I have never heard of this before!

(on the other hand, rather pleased that when I clicked on the recipe it didn’t come up with some insulting recipe like Kangeroo something..You wouldnt believe the amount of people who honestly believe that the movie Australia is an accurate discription of the entire country!)

Anyway, YUM yUM will be making tonite!
