Slow Cooker Cola Chicken

  • Cooking Time:

    6 hours on LOW
  • Servings:

    5

Ingredients

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, sliced
1 can of cola (I like Coke)
1 c. ketchup
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste

Chicken is a family favorite, and when I serve Slow Cooker Cola Chicken, we are always happy! We like this as a meal over rice and my husband likes to add soy sauce.  How do you like your Cola Chicken?

  1. Place chicken into a 4-5 quart slow cooker.
  2. Add Salt & Pepper to your taste.
  3. Top with onion.
  4. Add remaining ingredients.
  5. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  6. Cover & Crock on Low for 6 hours.
  7. Serve chicken over rice and top with sauce from slow cooker.

Happy Crocking!

I’m making this again tonight – made it last week and turned out really well! The first time EVER that my chicken breasts were not dry!

I use the coke/ketsup sauce with pork chops and serve with mashed potatoes and green beans. I’ve been cooking this for my family for 30 years. It’s one of our favorite comfort food meals. P

Just wondering how it turned out with the Root Beer instead of Cola? It sounds like it would be yummy!

Hey! I am super excited about my brand new crockpot and for this recipe! I’ve never used a crock before, and when I got put in charge of a dinner for a crowd on Tuesday (tomorrow) night, I made the decision to make this for the main dish! The problem is, I need to feed more people than what 1.5 lb of chicken breasts will feed. I got enough chicken, and plan on cutting it smaller before adding it to the crock. But my question is, should I double/triple the cola/ketchup and time? Or just the ingredients? I can’t wait… Read more »

Thank you so much for the advice! As a first time crocker, I’m a bit nervous, but I am sure it’ll all come out great 🙂 I’ll have to let you know – ALSO, may I link to your recipe from my blog? I wanted to blog about my first crock experience!

Hmm.. Smells good. I have yet to taste, but it didn’t come out the photo. There’s quite a bit watery? I don’t know? It’s on low since the morning… hopefully I’ll come home to something prettier.

Hey! Mine is really watery too… I have an hour and 44 minutes left on the timer, and it just began to boil – I chose to set the timer for 8 hours instead of 6 since I tripled the ingredients. We shall see!

Is it possible to take the lid off at the end and try to let the water evaporate out? I’ve never crocked before.

This recipe looks good, but my huband HATES ketchup (with a passion) could I use a cup of BBQ or tomato sauce as a substitute?

Hi I’m using thin sliced breasts does that make a difference in time? Also what if I needed to cook on high setting how much time then? Thank you!

I just found your site and I’m loving it. I’ve been crocking for about 4 months now and I have been looking for a place with new recipes and ideas. I’m making the chicken and dumplings (your recipe) tonight for the first time and am looking forward to making the cola chicken next week. It sounds wonderful. Thanks!

I just tried this recipe – it is so GOOD! Loved it! Made a BBQ sandwich and paired it with a few sides. Very tasty & the slow cooked chicken is super moist! Thank you for posting this; can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

Could this be all mixed together, frozen, then cooked later? I’m not sure if the cola would mess with the texture of the chicken if frozen. Has anyone tried this?

I make this alot for my family and i shred the chicken after its cooked in the crock all day, then throw the shredded chicken back into the sauce, simmer for about 20 mins more and serve. Its absolutely yummy and my family loves it! Better than sloppy joes because its made with chicken!

I would like to make this using a whole chicken as well, but how long would I cook it for, on both low or high???…my whole chicken is thawed and weighs close to six pounds….any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!!

just wondering if this can be cooked on HIGH, and for how long … i just bought my first crock pot (yes this is my first recipe 🙂 ) and it says not to cook on low setting or keep on low (warm) for more than 4 hours.

… confused! help!

thank you!!!

Do you have a suggestion for a subsitute for the onion that would still give it the flavor? My husband has an allergy to onions. Thanks

Hey, I have been trying your recipes for a couple months now and they have all been great! Today I am trying the cola chicken for the first time. This is the first time I am doubling the recipe though, my question is does that mean I need to double the cooking time or should I cook it on high? Thank you.

I made this last week-end and unfortunately my chicken came out dry. Did it cook for too long? I did have it cook for 8 hours. Any suggestions?

I made it with bone in frozen chicken breasts. I made white rice as a side and poured some of the “sauce” the chicken cooked in over the rice….OMG SOOO GOOD!! Tender and flavorful!

I’ve done this before, but with bbq sauce instead of ketchup. Turned out great! I even served it to company and got compliments on it. 🙂

FYI – it is never recommended to wash chicken. First, it spreads bacteria all over your kitchen. Secondly, water dilutes flavor. If you cook it according to directions and recommended temperature (165• F) you don’t need to worry about harmful bacteria.

Does it contain caffeine or does it get cooked out (like alcohol in wine)? I have a one year old and I don’t give her caffeine. Maybe I should buy caffeine free coke? This recipe sounds yummy!

Is there any good way to cut a crock pot recipe in half? I am just cooking for myself.

Disappointing. 2/5 stars. The moisture was all right but the flavor was uninspiring. The sauce itself was watery and lumpy, nothing like the beautiful glaze in the picture.
