The honey mustard is simple.

15
Im pretty sure Outback uses yellow mustard, but I prefer the taste of Dijon.
-
16
Add a splash of white wine vinegar to marry the flavors.
-
17
I usually use 1/4 cup each, as that will ensure leftover to serve on the side.

19
Grill your butterflied chicken breasts (see my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Perfect Grilled Chicken, Outback Style recipe).

Using two hands, pile the cheese mixture over the top.

It will make a pretty heart shape.

Place it in your pretend salamander (i.e.

When you begin to see the outline of the mushrooms under the melted cheese, pull the chicken out and sprinkle with chopped, flat leaf parsley.
