Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken skin side down and cook just until browned on each side (about 5 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  2. Combine onions, cola, ketchup, garlic, worcesterchire sauce, brown sugar, oregano, dry mustard powder in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Simmer 15 minutes.
  3. Remove lid, and simmer an additional 25 to 30 minutes turning chicken occasionally until chicken is cooked through and has reached 165°F.
  4. Serve with rice and steamed veggies.

Notes

  • Note: If you’d like a thicker sauce, once the chicken is cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Make a slurry of ⅓ cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Bring sauce to a boil and while whisking, pour in a bit of the slurry at a time to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of it). Allow to boil 1 minute and toss with chicken.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.
