Crock Pot Sweet Chick

I made the crock pot chicken last night. I followed the recipe (using chicken breasts) exactly except for the brown sugar. I used a 1/4 cup of the brown sugar. I still thought it was too sweet! I really think that with the amount of sugar in the 7Up that next time I will try it with no brown sugar.
As it was, I turned off the crock when I was preparing the rest of the meal and coarsely shredded the chicken. I tasted it and thought it was too sweet so I dumped more soy sauce in, probably about as much as the recipe calls for again. This helped. I also thought it needed more garlic.
All this to say, we liked the recipe. It smelled yummy as it cooked all afternoon. I have a teriyaki recipe that is similar. In summary, I will try this recipe again and tweak it with more garlic and no sugar. The family liked it!
