Jolene's Recipe Journal

Tim loves the Alice Springs chicken from Outback Steakhouse.  I've tried a couple of the clone recipes, none that really knocked his socks off.    Gave this one a run today, and he said while it's not really like the Outback one either, he liked it a lot and would eat it again if I made it.   "Partially cooking" the bacon is kind of vague, you want it to crisp up but not burn on top of the chicken while it bakes, I eyeballed it and it was pretty close.   We aren't mushroom fans, so they got omitted.  I used Penzey's Seasoned Salt in place of the salt/pepper/paprika.

April Fools! I had planned these Faux Chicken Nuggets and fries for dinner tonight, but since we had an unexpected snow day I had to make it on the sly and serve it for lunch instead.   I got the nugget idea from the Taste of Home website but I just cut my poundcake out and dipped mine in warmed up honey and then graham cracker crumbs since my son is allergic to nuts.   The fries are made from canned breadstick dough.  I rolled it out a bit and then cut it into sticks. Bake according to the package directions. Seedless strawberry jam became the ketchup. I just love his reaction!
