After a long day at work, a slow-cooked meal is a great help. One of my family's favorites is this moist slow-simmered chicken. For an appealing look, choose a darker brown barbecue sauce. —Jacqueline Blanton, Gaffney, South Carolina

Ingredients

1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce
3/4 cup cola

Directions

In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil in batches. Transfer to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Top with onion and lemon slices. Combine barbecue sauce and cola; pour over chicken.
Cover and cook on low 4-5 hours, until chicken is tender. If desired, skim off fat and thicken cooking juices; serve with chicken.

Health Tip: Most of the sodium comes from the generous amount of prepared barbecue sauce in this recipe. Use half the barbecue sauce and cola to reduce the sodium.
