Diet Cola Chicken My Way image

The proverbial statement "You know you are a Weight Watcher when..." could easily be completed with you have heard of or tried chicken simmered in a sauce made of equal parts ketchup and diet cola. While I love the dish for it's simplicity, I find it too sweet for my tastes. Inspired by Recipe #219157 and the addition of onions to add a savory note, I decided to play with the classic and developed this version. Though there are a few more ingredients, it is just as easy to prepare as the original. (WW 4 points per serving and Core)

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
12 ounces diet cola (I use diet Pepsi)
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup finely diced red onions or 2/3 cup yellow onion
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

  • Mix together the ketchup, diet cola, vinegar, hot sauce and onions in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts and bring the sauce to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Reduce to a simmer and cook for 50 minutes, until the chicken is tender enough to split with a fork. The sauce will be reduced by half and quite rich and thick.
  • Serve each breast with a quarter of the sauce.

I've tried many different Diet Coke chicken recipes, and this one is by far the best. It's the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and savory.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make a double batch and freeze the leftovers.

I didn't have any Diet Coke, so I used regular Coke. The chicken still turned out great!

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less Diet Coke or adding some vinegar to balance out the sweetness.
