Recipe for Slow Cooker Honey Dijon Chicken and Mushrooms

Makes 6 servings
Ideal slow cooker size:  5 quart


1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp ground thyme
1 tsp ground rosemary
8 oz sliced mushrooms
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey
1 cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp flour
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat (you can use frozen or unfrozen)
1 Tbsp quick cooking tapioca
Salt and pepper, to taste

1.  In a microwave safe bowl, combine the oil, onion, garlic, tomato paste, thyme and rosemary.  Microwave for 5 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds.  Transfer to slow cooker.
2.  Add the mustards, honey, broth, flour and tapioca to the slow cooker.  Stir a bit.
3.  Add the chicken and mushrooms to the slow cooker.
4.  Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours for thawed chicken and 5-7 hours (depending on your slow cooker) for frozen chicken.
5.  Remove lid and salt and pepper to taste.  Serve chicken sliced into pieces or as whole thighs.  This is a plenty saucy dish so serving this with rice, potatoes or noodles is a good idea.

Review:
I love chicken and I love mushrooms so naturally this was a yummy dinner for me personally.  The mustard and honey gives it a tangy and sweet flavor.  The onions, garlic and spices gives it a great depth of flavor.  Everyone ate this happily.  4 stars.
