Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 150 ml chicken stock
- 5 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic clove crushed
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoon Creme Fraiche
- 4 tablespoon Cornflour (corn starch)
Instructions
- Put 1 tablespoon Butter in a large pan and once melted, add 1 kg Chicken thighs. Brown on both sides.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together 150 ml Chicken stock, 5 tablespoon Honey, 2 Garlic clove, 4 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 pinch Sea salt.
- Put the chicken in the slow cooker and pour the honey and mustard sauce over the chicken. Cook on high for 3 hours.
- Once cooked, add 6 tablespoon Creme fraiche and carefully stir, so you don't break up the chicken.
- To thicken the sauce, take a ladle of liquid out and put in a cup with 4 tablespoon Cornflour (corn starch) and mix well. Add the mixture back to the slow cooker and stir.
- Serve with mashed potatoes.

Notes
- You can give this an extra protein boost by adding some quick cook lentils at the same time as the sauce.
- We used chopped fresh chives, but coriander (cilantro) would work well too.
- We kept the chicken whole when serving it up, but you could shred it all and mix it in to the sauce.
- Add a kick of spice to this by sprinkling some red chilli flakes on top before serving.
- You don't have to thicken the sauce with a cornflour slurry, as it does take away some of the flavor, but you might find it too runny without it.
