Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds of chicken thighs
- Kosher salt
- 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
- 1 cup of classic Coca-cola
- 2 tablespoons of Zatarain's Big & Zesty Creole seasoning, or your favorite Cajun/Creole seasoning, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped celery
- 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
- Fettuccine or other wide pasta, cooked al dente
Preparation
Step 1
Remove skin from chicken to reduce excess fat if desired. Season the chicken on both sides generously with salt and pepper; add to a 6 quart slow cooker. Whisk together the tomato sauce, Coke, Creole seasoning, basil and garlic powder. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery and whisk. Pour over the chicken, cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. Add fresh, sliced mushrooms if desired, in last 10 minutes of cooking. Skim off any excess fat from the top and spoon some of the sauce into the cooked and drained pasta to coat, then serve the chicken alongside the noodles with another veggie or a nice side salad.
