STEPS

1

Create a marinade by combining beer, smoked paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and coat thoroughly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

2

Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

3

Grill chicken breasts until fully cooked, flipping occasionally. Each side takes 10 to 15 minutes.

4

Prepare cheese sauce in a saucepan. Melt butter over medium heat, add and whisk flour until smooth paste forms. Slowly add half and half and beer, stirring until thickened (3-5 minutes). Mix in cheddar cheese until melted, then season with paprika, garlic powder, and ground mustard.

5

Toast hamburger buns on the grill until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

6

Serve grilled chicken on buns, top with the beer cheese sauce and any other desired burger toppings.
