brown sugar chicken

i've been asked more than a few times to post some of my recipes, so i think i'm gonna start doing a "recipe of the week". some will be tried and true recipes, others will be brand new ones that are for sure to be a hit at your dinner table. here's the first one which i posted on facebook due to popular demand :) it was quite tasty. i might try to add red pepper flakes next time for a little kick. my kids even liked this one! i served it with salty green beans to accent the sweetness of the chicken...enjoy!

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or you can use pieces of chicken, ie. thighs, legs)
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c lemon-lime soda (i used diet sierra mist)
2/3 c vinegar (i used white vinegar)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (or you can use 3 garlic cloves chopped)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp pepper

mix all ingredients and pour over chicken in crockpot. cook on low 6-8 hours. serve over rice with a ladle full of broth...enjoy!!
