Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 400 g chicken breast cut into large pieces
- 1 red onion cut into 8 wedges
- 1 bell pepper cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 garlic clove
- 60 g tomato puree
- 150 ml diet coke
- 100 ml chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper (you may add some cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for extra flavour too).
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat (you may use low-calorie nonstick cooking spray too).
- Add the chicken pieces and stir fry until the chicken fully changes colour, but it doesn't have to be cooly cooked through (3-4 minutes depending on how large your pieces are).
- Take the chicken out of the pan, and set aside. To the same pan, add the onions, pepper and garlic. Increase the heat to high and stir fry the veggies for 4-5 minutes, until slightly charred, but retain the crunch. Take the veggies out of the pan and set aside.
- To the same frying pan, pour in the Diet Coke, tomato paste, Worcester sauce and stock, and mix to combine. Bring it to a rapid boil and cook to reduce it by about a third.
- Add the chicken pieces back into the pan with the tomato sauce, reduce the read slightly and cook for 10 minutes. The chicken should cook through completely and the sauce should reach the required consistency to coat the chicken. Stir in the veggies. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
- Serve the diet coke chicken with rice or noodles, and your favourite vegetable sides (some suggestions below).
