Chili Lime Chicken in Crock Pot

Chili Lime Chicken

2 pounds chicken breast

1.5 cans Coke (NOT diet)

1/4 C brown sugar

dash garlic salt

1/4 C water

1 can sliced or diced green chilies

3/4 can enchilada sauce

1 C brown sugar

Put the chicken in a heavy-duty Ziploc bag to marinate. Add about 1 1/2 cans of Coke and 1/4 C brown sugar. Marinate for at least a few hours, but preferably overnight. Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of Coke, water and garlic salt in crock pot on HIGH for about 3-4 hours, or on LOW for about 8 hours--just don't let it get dry. Remove chicken from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred.

In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and 1 C sugar (I used way less--just my preference). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little. Put shredded chicken and sauce in crockpot and cook on LOW for 2 hours. Enjoy!!!

This is the recipe for cafe rio pork, but I substituted chicken. I did not end up using all of the coke. It has a good bit of sugar, so I may need to play with substituting natural sugars in place of processed and coke! Updates to come!
