What can you do with a can of pop and a bottle of ketchup? Make supper of course! (Wait, that wasn’t the answer you were looking for?)
Although it involves a seemingly strange combination of ingredients, my recipe for four ingredient Crock Pot Cola Chicken is absolutely delicious! I had my first taste of this easy meal at a recipe club meeting some years ago. It can simmer for a large part of the day and makes your house smell of comfort food!
Crock Pot Cola Chicken
Serves 5-6
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (1 1/2-2 lbs) or chicken breast
1 cup ketchup
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 cup cola
Directions:
Salt and pepper chicken to taste
Put chicken in crock pot
Add onions
Add cola and ketchup
Cook on low 6-8 hours, checking to make sure chicken does not get too dry.
Shred cooked chicken as desired using 2 forks.
Our favorite way to serve it is on buns with a salad, chips and a pickle, but you could also put it over corn chips if you’d prefer.
There are lots of other fabulous ways to jazz up your dinner menu by using your slow cooker! Here are a few of my winter-y favorites:
