Can you guess what I made for dinner today?  I’ll give you some hints.  It was made in the crock-pot.  It was inspired by my favorite meat dish back when I ate mammals, Coca Cola grilled pork at my grandparents’ house.

Any guesses?

Cherry Coke Crock Pot Chicken!

Cherry Coke Crock Pot Chicken, serves 4

• 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 cups (warm) Cherry Coke

Place chicken and soda into crock-pot and cook 4 hours on high.  Remove excessive liquid from crock and shred chicken with two forks.

The chicken only ended up with the slightest hint of cherry cola flavor, but it was perfectly tender and juicy.  And the smell coming out of the crock-pot was ah-mazing!

We served our shredded chicken on top of a big pile of steamed, frozen spinach.  With Cherry Cola Soy Reduction drizzled on top.  I boiled Cherry Coke and tamari until reduced by 3/4 then whisked in 1 Tbsp of butter and 1 Tbsp of all-purpose flour at the last minute.

The sauce made this meal!

Speaking of pork,

Pig is no more.

It’s been 2 days, Webster is a beast!

Do you ever cook with cola?  What is your favorite way to enjoy a soft drink?
