Sticky Chicken recipe with cola instead of honey- Could this work?

[Jenovah Fitness]

Heya, I just made this slimming world recipe.

Sticky chicken - Recipes - Slimming World

Basically, cubed chicken breast in a marinade of 3tbsp Honey, 3tbsp Balsamic Vinegar and 3tbsp of Soy Sauce. It is 3 syns per portion.
I am assuming the syns are from the honey? If so...could this be replaced with diet cola to make it syn free and do you think it would work well?

It was LOVELY by the way! I recommend trying it (with the honey) or if you fancy experimenting and getting back to me then try with the diet cola idea. It was delicious though, the saltiness of the soy sauce, sweetness and stickiness of honey and then the sourness of the vinegar just went so well together!

Here's how it turned out: (served with ratatouille, new potatoes with lightest philedelphia on and then a bed of fresh spinach)
