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.

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.
