Chicken Cooked in Coke

1 kg chicken pieces (depending on amount of people)

1 pkt. French onion soup

1 onion

1 capsicum (red or green)

1 sml. can champignons (optional)

1 carrot, diced

3/4 cup peas

1 litre bottle coke

Method: Lightly brown chicken pieces in frypan. When browned take out and drain, also drain fat out of frypan. Replace chicken pieces in frypan. Pour coke over so chicken is covered, add french onion soup, onion, capsicum, carrot and champignons. Simmer for 45-60 minutes. Add peas last. The coke will go into a gravy. It does not sound very nice, but it is beautiful. You can use diet coke or tab. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice.
