Definitely kid-approved. I usually serve it over rice or egg noodles. I have also used a whole chicken, bone-in chicken legs, or chicken breast; but the boneless skinless chicken thighs work out better for my family's tastes.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Once cooked, the chicken thighs in this slow cooker cola chicken are extremely tender. Onions add lots of flavor to the sweet and tangy sauce. It's an easy dump-and-go dinner and the slow cooker works its magic while the chicken thighs cook. Serve with rice and a green veggie for a budget-friendly meal.
