Beer-Infused Chicken
A succulent chicken dish infused with the flavors of beer and aromatic spices, creating a delicious and moist main course.
Equipment
- oven
- large pot
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt and black pepper
- garlic
- thyme
- beer
- olive oil
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried thyme on both sides. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Pour the beer into the skillet, allowing it to sizzle and deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, as they add flavor to the dish.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the chicken simmer in the beer-infused sauce for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a serving plate. Spoon the beer-infused sauce over the chicken breasts. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken from the skillet and increase the heat. Let the sauce simmer and reduce until it thickens slightly. Pour the reduced sauce over the chicken before serving.
- Serve the beer-infused chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes or vegetables.
