Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup Guinness beer (preferably stout)
  • ½ cup brown sugar Adjust according to taste
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Make the Glaze
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the Guinness, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is well combined.
Glaze the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour half of the Guinness glaze over them, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated.
Bake the Chicken
  1. Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, take the chicken out and flip it over, brushing additional glaze on top.
Broil for Finish
  1. Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Garnish and Serve
  1. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

If using leftovers, let the chicken cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. For freezing, store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
