Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup sugar-free cola
- 0.5 cup low-sugar ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Season the chicken thighs with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the sugar-free cola, low-sugar ketchup, soy sauce or coconut aminos, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then return the chicken thighs to the skillet.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cover. Allow the chicken to cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked, and the sauce has reduced to a thick glaze.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Optional: Garnish with chopped scallions before serving for an extra pop of freshness.
Step 9
Serve the Low Carb Cola Chicken with steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
