Creating Alice Springs Chicken can be simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Add the Honey Mustard: Pour the honey mustard dressing over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
5. Layer with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.
6. Top with Bacon: Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon on top of the cheese layer.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain moisture.
9. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
