Author Chews and Brews

Ingredients

Glaze

  • 1 cup Guinness Extra Stout
  • 4 clove garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • Salt and pepper

Sandwich

  • 2 sandwich or hamburger buns
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup sliced button mushrooms
  • 2 slices provolone cheese
  • 1/2 cup pre-made coleslaw
  • 2 Tbsp. mayo
  • Garlicky Guinness glaze

Instructions

Glaze

  1. In a small sauce pot, combine minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce and honey and bring to a slight simmer, letting the garlic soften slightly.
  2. Add in the brown sugar and stir to dissolve and then add in the Guinness and a dash of salt and pepper. Let simmer for 30 minutes, watching and stirring occasionally, until it reduces by half.
  3. When glaze is ready, start the chicken by heating a small amount of cooking oil in a hot frying pan. Saute the mushrooms in 2 tsp of the garlicky Guinness glaze until soft. Set aside.
  4. Using the same pan, heat up cooking oil and place chicken breasts in hot pan. While cooking, drizzle small amounts of the garlicky Guinness glaze on the chicken, while turning occasionally to cook through. Ensure you save about 2 Tbsp. of the garlicky Guinness glaze to drizzle on the sandwich. Once done (about 20 minutes), assemble the sandwich.

Sandwich

  1. Using a bun of your choice, layer the bottom with pre-made coleslaw and top with a chicken breast, half of the mushrooms, a drizzle of the glaze and top with a slice of provolone cheese.
  2. Spread about 1 Tbsp. of mayo evenly on the top bun and enjoy!
  3. Best served with a cold glass of Guinness!
