Ingredients

  • 1 - 1 1/2 lb boneless chicken, cut up
  • 1 cup white onion (you can leave the chunks big so you can pick them out)
  • 12 ounces diet orange soda (Diet Rite Tangerine works great)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • black pepper, to taste

Method

  • Brown chicken and onions in a non-stick pan sprayed with cooking spray.
  • When chicken is brown, add the remaining ingredients.
  • Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is tender and thoroughly cooked.
  • Uncover and reduce liquid until it makes a syrupy sauce.
  • A little arrowroot powder may be added to thicken the sauce, if desired.
