Alice Springs Chicken

I've had this recipe for a while. I got it from a cookbook that my mother-in-law gave me. It has a bunch of recipes that people have submitted. After I had made it a few times I realized that Outback Steakhouse makes this. I altered the recipe slightly so I guess it's my own variation of it. This is one of my husband's favorite dishes that I make. It is so good.
