Ingredients
4 skinless & boneless chicken breasts1 tbsp olive oil1 large onion, cut into 6 wedges500ml bottle dry cider3 tsp Dijon Mustard2 tsp caster sugar900 ml chicken stock (I use 900ml boiling water + 4 chicken oxo cubes)3 carrots, cut into chunks2 lemons, cut into wedges20g Fresh Lemon Thyme (or regular thyme if you can't get lemon thyme)
Directions
Preheat the slow cooker if necessary by the manufacturer's instructions.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the chicken breasts and fry until sealed all over.

Remove chicken from the frying pan and place in the slow cooker pot.

Fry the onion wedges in the remaining oil in the pan until lightly browned.

Add the cider, mustard and sugar (season with salt & pepper if you want).

Bring to the boil, then pour over the chicken.

Add the chicken stock, then the carrots, lemon wedges and lemon thyme, making sure that the chicken and all the vegetables are well below the level of the stock so that they cook evenly and thoroughly.

Cover with the lid and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the meat juices run clear.
