This slow cooker recipe requires no pre-cooking, and it yields a sweet, caramelized glaze and tender chicken.

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch strips

Sauce:
1 large onion, sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon country-style (coarse-grain) mustard
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper

2 green onions, sliced on an angle, for garnish (optional)

Directions:
Coat the slow cooker with cooking spray.
Place the chicken in the slow cooker, add the sauce ingredients along with 1/2 cup water and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Garnish with green onions before serving, if desired.

Tips:
The Dijon and country-style mustards thicken the sauce. If you use yellow mustard, you might have to thicken the sauce in the last 30 minutes of cooking with one tablespoon of water mixed with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch.
