SOUTHERN DELIGHT CHICKEN BREASTS
Penny-Pinching Main Dishes p.125
Freezer Friendly
Oh, no, JoAnna's cooking with soda again! Yes, I figured if chicken and cola went together like old friends, why not glaze a Southern-style chicken dish with this delightful combination? I bet your family will agree it's "finger-lickin'" good! Serves 4
2 teaspoons I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light Margarine
16 ounces skinned and boned uncooked chicken breasts, cut into 4 pieces 1/2 cup Diet 7-UP *
1/4 cup apricot spreadable fruit
2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) chopped pecans
In a large skillet, melt margarine. Arrange chicken pieces in skillet and brown for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Reserve 1 tablespoon Diet 7-UP. Pour remaining Diet 7-UP over chicken. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until chicken is tender. In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 tablespoon Diet 7-UP, spreadable fruit, and pecans. Evenly drizzle mixture over chicken pieces. Continue to simmer for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce is heated through. When serving, drizzle sauce evenly over chicken pieces.
