Pepsi Chicken and Vegetables

Got this recipe off of Good Things Utah.  I am trying to add more veggies to our meals.  My kids will always eat chicken and will hopefully try the veggies.

Pepsi Chicken and Vegetables

(Serves 8)  Cooking Time: 1 to 1 1/2 hours

6 to 8 pounds chicken breasts (large breasts cut in to four pieces, small in to two)

1, 16 ounce bottle of Pepsi

1, 24 ounce bottle of Ketchup

salt & pepper

4 tablespoons cornstarch (make it in to a paste with cold water)

vegetables of your choice

Directions: Cut up your vegetables and meat.  Place half of the vegetables in a layer on the bottom and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place the chicken on top of the vegetables in the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Pour the ketchup and the Pepsi on top of this layer.  Place the other half of the vegetables on top of the chicken.  Cook until chicken juices run clear, stirring occasionally.  Thicken sauce with cornstarch paste and bring back to boil.  Serve over rice with rolls or biscuits for a great meal.

2 orange bell peppers (cut in chunks)

2 yellow bell peppers (cut in chunks)

2 green bell peppers (cut in chunks)
