Guinness Glazed Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients:

Guinness Glaze

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Slice the red onion and mushrooms.
3. Make the Guinness glaze (see ingredients below). Add the Guinness, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire, honey, and salt to a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, whisking until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the liquid reduces by half. Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add to the saucepan and whisk to combine. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Remove from the heat and set aside.
4. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook on each side for 7-8 minutes or until cooked through.
5. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender. Add a few spoonfuls of the Guinness Glaze to the skillet and stir to coat the mushrooms. Set aside.
6. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Slice the ciabatta bread in half and place each half on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and place one slice of provolone cheese on each half. Return to the oven and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasted.
7. Assemble the sandwich. Cut the bacon in half and place half on the bottom of each sandwich (2 slices of bacon per sandwich). Top with a chicken breast. Then add a heaping scoop of the sautéed mushrooms. Top with a few pieces of onion and drizzle some of the Guinness Glaze on top. Then place the top half of the ciabatta on the sandwich and enjoy!
