- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce (tamari for gluten-free)
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)

Notes
- With Chicken Breast 3 WW points
- If you won't be home all day, and your slow cooker doesn't go to warm after it's done, it should be fine leaving it on low 6 hours.
