Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 12 ounces beer
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1/2 cup milk

  • Dijon mustard

Instruction

  • Place the chicken, beer, garlic, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4 hours.
  • When done, shred the chicken with two forks. Meat should shred easily.
  • To prepare the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the beer and milk and continue cooking and whisking until the sauce is smooth and thick, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn heat to low and add the cheese, a small handful at a time, stirring until melted before adding the next handful. Stir in the chives.
  • To serve, warm the pretzel buns in the oven. Split and spread one side with mustard. Top with the chicken and cheese mixture.
