Cola Chicken Recipe • Perfect Weeknight Meal! | Club Foody

 

I’m a very lucky lady! Perhaps materially no but everything else, I am! I have a roof on top of my head, clean clothes to wear, a warm bed to sleep in and food on my table. I’m healthy and free! When it comes to Club Foody, this is a job I’m passionate about. Although it requires lot of working hours (100 +/week), I’m still waking up every morning ready for more.
 
We have a beautiful circle of friends from across Canada including some spread out in the states. A few years ago, I married the love of my life who’s not only my husband but also my best friend! Another best friend I have is my mother. Every week, we talk over the phone; laughing, letting our frustrations out, sharing ideas and dreams. I’m fortunate to have her! We also have many things in common and of course, cooking is one of them.
 
As she’s aging, she has been looking for more quick & easy recipes like Penne alla Vodka, Crispy Ginger Beef, Orzo with Chicken & Asiago, Hamburger Helper, Creole Couscous with Andouille & Shrimp, Avocado Sweet Pea Toast, Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce, Cauliflower Fried Rice, Veal Marsala, and many more.
 
A few years ago, she gave me one of her favorite recipes and it’s Cola Chicken! David and I love this recipe! It’s simple and yet so tasty! What makes the recipe is the sauce; a delicious combination of Coca-Cola soda, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper… perfect!
 
Did I modify her Cola Chicken recipe? Of course I did but not as much as you’d think. I use boneless skinless chicken thighs for more flavor while she uses breasts. In the sauce, I add cayenne pepper… not a lot but a little to give some zip to it. I also increase the amount of Worcestershire sauce. She only sautés onions – I also add garlic to them. After making it for many years, I like to let the can sit on the counter for a while so it’s not that cold.
 
Cola Chicken is a great comfort food! I like to serve it with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete weeknight meal. There’s nothing fancy about this recipe but it’s certainly tasty! After trying it, I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a regular dish on your menu rotation…
Bon Appétit!
