Recipe Introduction

"Diet Coke Chicken" and it tastes like BBQd shredded chicken:

List of Ingredients

1-1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup steamed mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz can diet coke (has a little less sodium than 7 up)
1 cup of Ketchup (plan friendly of course!! recipe/link see below)






Ketchup
1 6 oz can nsa tomato paste
2 Tbsp granulated Splenda, or about 3 packets
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Note: you do not need to make the Ketchup in advance for the dish, just add the ingredients. I also only use 1/2 of the vinegar, otherwise it seems a little to tart for my taste

You can also cut out some of the Splenda, the coke seems to add enough sweetness



Recipe

I usually brown the chicken first in a non stick pan then transfer it into a larger pot and add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until chicken falls apart (about 1 1/2 hours, the longer the better).
You can serve this over rice or make your own french fries. This always make me feel like I am having "junk food" without the guilt

Put as many free veggies in it as you like, the messurements are only a guideline!!
You could also put everything in a slow cooker in the am and have a delicious meal to come home to in the evening.
