Recipe #2: Cola Chicken

Source:  Daily Crockpot Recipe:  Diana Rattray

4 to 6 chicken breast halves
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cola, regular or diet, or Dr. Pepper  (I used Diet Pepsi)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

Spray crockpot with cooking spray.  Arrange chicken breast halves in crockpot.  Combine ketchup, cola, onion, and green pepper; pour over chicken.  Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.  Serve chicken with sauce.  Serves 4 to 6.

I worked today, so on working days, the crockpot is my best friend.  If we want to eat before midnight, anyway.

DEVIATIONS:  I used 1/3 cup of both cola and ketchup.  I also used a red bell pepper, since I didn't have green.  I used the whole thing.  I also used about half of a large onion.  You'll find that when it comes to things like onions, I don't measure. 

It cooked in my crockpot on low for 8 hours.  So it was a little dry.  The sauce was thin and watery, but still tasty.  The chicken was tender, but we were still able to pull each breast out of the crockpot in one piece.

Special Ingredients Needed:   None. 
Ease of Preparation:  Easy.  Throw it in the crockpot and leave.
Taste:   My husband enjoyed this.  He said he would eat it again.  My daughter (10) also liked it.  I found it a little dry for my taste.  I would probably not make it again, unless I made sure to only cook it for the 5 hours recommended.
Overall:  6.5 out of 10
