Ingredients

    1. 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, no skin
    2. 8 ounces diet orange soda ( the tangerine soda is great too)
    3. 1 small onion, cut in fourths
    4. 2 garlic cloves, minced
    5. 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
    6. 2 teaspoons chili powder
    7. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    8. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    9. 1/4 teaspoon salt
    10. 1 (1 g) Splenda quick pack
    11. 1 tablespoon xanthan gum ( thickening, or other thickener)

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts in a 3 quart or larger crock pot and top with onion and garlic.
  2. Mix cocoa powedr, chile powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt and splenda together in a separate bowl and sprinkle over chicken/onion/garlic. Pour in orange soda. Cover and cook at LOW setting until chicken is very tender when pierced, 6 to 7 hours (although I have cooked it as long as 9 hours).
  3. Blend in xanthan gum or other thickener with a bit of water and stir into crockpot.
  4. Increase slow cooker heat setting to HIGH. Cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until sauce is thickened (about 15 more minutes). Season to taste with salt.
