  2. In the morning place the chicken in the slow cooker and add in marinade not fill above an inch from the top of the container.
  3. Set the cooker on low and cover. Then, 6 to 8 hrs later, turn the cooker to high for 45 to 60 min. Add in the mushrooms, fresh herb, a few grindings of salt and pepper, mandarin sections with juice (not syrup), if you like, green pepper strips and ginger stir thoroughly and cook for about 5 - 10 min. Add in the dissolved cornstarch and stir; re-cover, ajar, and simmer for 15 to 30 min while preparing the side dishes. Remove from heat and add in yogurt to 'cream' the sauce, optional. Serve with vegetable medley and small new potatoes or possibly steamed jasmine rice.

Add in fresh herb to boost flavor: thyme, marjoram, cilantro, parsley, oregano, tarragon, or possibly chives. Yogurt replaces lowfat milk as creamer.
  6. TIP: To get a thicker sauce, remove chicken to a serving bowl transfer liquids to a saucepan and thicken on the stove top with more dissolved cornstarch.
  7. thyme and cilantro and lots of fresh ginger and honey instead of brown sugar. The sauce can be flavorful but thin.
