Ketchup and Diet Coke Chicken

I have a crazy hectic week this week, so I have been making meals that don't take too much prep work and/or ingredients.  The name of this chicken might not sound so appetizing, trust me the first time I heard about it, my face curled up and I was ready to never, ever, try it.  But a woman I work with kept pushing that it was some of the best chicken she ever had and that it is the one dish she makes that her husband keeps asking for.  There is nothing else to this dish except for what is in the title, you may want to add some veggies and serve it with some rice, but there are very few ingredients that are needed.  The chicken is so tender I could cut it with my fork and there was so much flavor I could not believe it.

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts

1 Can of Diet Coke (do not use regular Coke)

1 C. Ketchup

Directions:

1. Whisk together the Diet Coke and ketchup and then pour chicken breasts in a baking dish.

2.  Cook the chicken at 350 degrees for about 40-60 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.

3.  If you are serving this with rice, cook the rice and once the chicken is done, bring the sauce to a boil in a sauce pan and let it boil for 2 minutes.

Honestly I can not stop praising this dish, I tell everyone who asks me for dinner ideas about this, and most of them are interested because they already have the ingredients.  The sauce tastes like barbecue sauce without having that stickiness and thickness that barbecue sauce has, plus there is no basting required, just place the baking dish in the oven and let it cook.  No muss no fuss.....the best kind of dinner.  Please try this chicken and tell your friends!

ENJOY!
