Cola Chicken

This is an easy,easy recipe that is low in calories.

You need:

1 c. ketchup
1 can of diet coke (or if measuring out of a larger bottle, measure 12 oz)
1 lb chicken

Place chicken in a large skillet. Mix together the ketchup and diet coke and pour over the chicken. Cook over medium low heat, occasionally turning the chicken, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of barbecue sauce.

The finished dish is chicken with a sauce that is slightly sweeter than regular barbecue sauce. I served it with corn (courtesy of green giant as it is a little too early in the year for corn on the cob yet) and my husband had steak fries with it as well.
