Diet Cola Chicken

Diet Cola Chicken

This is a classic Slimming World recipe. The sauce is similar to a barbecue sauce.

Serves 4

low cal cooking spray
1 onion finely chopped,
1 each red, green and yellow pepper, cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 tbsp tomato puree
8 tbsp passata 
1 tbsp dark soy sauce 
1 tsp mixed herbs
330ml diet cola
200ml chicken stock
200g sugar snaps

Spray large pan with low cal spray and place over high heat.

Add chicken, peppers and onions and stir fry for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the cola, stock, passata, tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and herbs.  Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the sugar snaps and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Slimming World note: FREE

My notes.  I think I would add the veg, particularly the peppers later in the cooking in order to keep some texture to them if I made this again.  i didn't use the sugar snaps so served this with some green beans, cooked separately.

If the sauce is a bit thin for your liking, boil rapidly until it reduces and becomes thicker.

You could use this sauce in many ways, I reckon it would be good with meatballs baked in it.
