Cherry Coke Chicken
This recipe started out as a bit of an experiment. I’ve made beef in the slow cooker with pop before, but had never attempted it with chicken. I decided I’d give it a whirl and see what it was like. I added a can of cherries, Coca-Cola, barbecue sauce and chicken. I thought about adding onion soup mix too, but ended up leaving it out.
The result was interesting, but tasty! I didn’t find it overly sweet. John said whatever this is, make it again. I take that as a good sign. He ended up eating more than the rest of us.
I experiment quite a bit in the kitchen. I have had my share of fails! This one I’m chalking up to a recipe success. Would you try it?

An interesting bunch of ingredients. Does the Coke make it very sweet?
Looks yummy! and easy to make.
Never thought to add Cherries to to this recipe as I use my crock almost everyday & make a slight version of this. Since we love our cherries I will be certainly trying it out 🙂
Well, this is a twist on chicken. I am intrigued and want to try it!
Looks like agreat tasting chicken recipe! Coke and cherries are an interesting ingredient!
Another great recipe, Stacie! Cherries are one of my favorite foods, but I rarely cook savory dishes with them, usually sweet, so I’ll have to give this a try. Love that it’s only 4 ingredients.
