Pepsi Chicken Mushrooms Recipes

CHICKEN WITH CREAMY MUSHROOMS AND SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Dredge 2 chicken cutlets in flour, shake off any excess and place in the skillet. Cook until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes per side; transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the other 2 chicken cutlets. Cover the dish loosely with foil; place in the oven while you prepare the vegetables.
• Add the butter to the hot skillet, then add the scallions and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown, about 4 minutes. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce thickens slightly, 3 to 4 more minutes. Stir in the snap peas and heat through; season with salt and pepper. Serve the chicken topped with the creamy vegetables.

PEPSI CHICKEN

Steps:

• I saw lots of other "cola chicken" recipes, but none with barbecue sauce the way we make it! Most of them seemed complicated and long. My mom's recipe is quick, easy, and a huge crowd-pleaser! (I TOTALLY impressed my future-inlaws when my husband and I were still dating.) Here's how we make "Pepsi Chicken" in our house:
• -Heat electric skillet to 350.
• -Coat bottom of skillet with barbecue sauce (by pouring a little, nothing too fancy)
• -Place bone-in chicken in skillet (not recommended for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, they dry out too much)
• -Cover chicken in barbecue sauce and one can of soda (we usually use a little more than half a bottle of BBQ sauce)
• -Cover skillet and cook 20-30 minutes, turning halfway through (20 is enough for most medium-sized pieces of chicken).
• -Serve with rice and vegetables!
• Tips:
• -Any kind of soda will work--this is a great way to use up icky generic-brand sodas from large parties
• -Be careful when opening skillet lid--it will be steamy!
• -Always cut into chicken before serving to make sure it's cooked through
• -Use two cans of soda when cooking more than 6-7 servings, and a little more BBQ sauce. This will require closer to 30 minutes
• Makes 4 servings as listed, can be increased to any number!

SLOW-COOKER MUSHROOM CHICKEN & PEAS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Sprinkle with soup mix, pressing to help seasonings adhere. Add water, mushrooms, onion and garlic., Cook, covered, on low 3-4 hours or until chicken is tender (a thermometer inserted in chicken should read at least 165°). Stir in peas; cook, covered, 10 minutes longer or until heated through.
