Dr. Pepper Chicken Recipe question



Recommended Posts

I found this recipe for Dr. Pepper chicken on the Internet (after getting the idea from on the "What did you eat today?" thread) and it is really good. The chicken is very moist. Does anyone know what the nutritional values would be... or know where I could go to figure them out?

TiA!

Ann

Ingredients

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can of Diet Dr. Pepper
  • 1/2 cup of ketchup
  • salt, pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Spray the bottom of a heavy pot with non-stick spray
  2. Season chicken and brown a few mins on each side
  3. Mix can of diet dr. pepper and ketchup
  4. Pour over chicken
  5. Bring to a boil, cover & simmer for 45 mins. (Note: We just simmered for two hours, until the chicken was fork-shreddable and all the sauce was soaked up.)

You can also do this in the crock pot with Diet Coke...even my kids ask for it! It's yummy!

Here is the info for 6 servings (1 breast each) using Diet Coke:

Calories 279.6

Fat 3

Cholesterol 137mg

Sodium 382mg

Carbs 5.2

Protien 54.8

Hope that helps!

Try marinate for about 3 hours and then grill it. That is what my husband does.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
